摘要
In this study, we investigate the effect of nitric acid oxidation on p-type silicon solar cells. The oxide layer on the surface of a p-type silicon substrate was grown under various growth times and temperatures while under nitric acid treatment. After 30 min of growth at 23 degrees C, an efficiency improvement of absolute 2% was obtained using our laboratory fabrication process. (C) 2010 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
