摘要
To realize high deposition rate is an important problem in low-cost industrialization of microcrystalline silicon solar cells. Deposition of mu c-Si: H films at a high rate was investigated using very-high-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD) in this paper. The influence of gas residence time on deposition rate and the photoelectric and micro structural properties in the CVD process were studied by changing total gas flow. As a result, the efficiency of the microcrystalline silicon solar cell prepared at deposition rate 12 A/s reached 5.3%.
