摘要
Different Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) layers properties are evaluated after annealing steps at temperatures above 200 degrees C, in order to study their potential use in crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells fabrication processes. While the conductivity of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) layers obtained by magnetron sputtering (MS) is almost stable after annealing in air, Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide (AZO) layers deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) need a controlled atmosphere to maintain high carrier densities and mobilities. During the annealing processes, contaminating atoms (such as Zn) diffuse into the c-Si bulk and may potentially decrease its quality. Thus, both the contamination of the c-Si bulk and the properties of the AZO layer have been analyzed. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
