Si nanocrystallites thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition using a Nd:YAG laser. After deposition, samples were annealed at the temperatures of 400 to $800^{\circ}C$. Hydrogen passivation was then performed in the forming gas (95% $N_2$ + 5% $H_2$) for 1 hr. Strong violet-indigo photoluminescence has been observed at room temperature from nitrogen ambient-annealed Si nanocrystallites. The variation of photoluminescence (PL) Properties of Si nanocrystallites thin films has been investigated depending on annealing temperatures with hydrogen passivation. From the results of PL, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurements, it is observed that the origin of violet-indigo PL from the nanocrystalline silicon in the silicon oxide film is related to the quantum size effect of Si nanocrystallites and oxygen vacancies in the SiOx(x : 1.6-1.8) matrix affects the emission intensity.

It is important to form the n+ emitter layer for generating electric potential collecting EHP(Electron-Hole Pair). In this paper the formation on the n+ emitter layer of silicon wafer has been made with respect to uniformity of shallow diffusion from a liquid source. The starting material was crystalline silicon wafers of resistivity $0.5{\sim}3\{Omega}{\cdot}cm$, p-type, thickness $200{\mu}m$, direction[100]. The formation of n+ emitter layer from the liquid $POCl_3$ source was carried out for $890^{\circ}C$ in an ambient of $N_2:O_2$::10:1 by volume. And than each conditions are pre-deposition and drive-in time. It has been made uniformity of at least. so, the average of sheet resistance was about 0.12%. In this study, sheet resistance was measured by 4-point prove.

ZnO is a promising material to make high efficient ultraviolet(UV) or blue light emitting diodes(LEDs) because of its large binding energy and energy bandgap. In this study, we prepared ZnO thin films with p-type conductivity on silicon(100) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering in the mixture of $N_2$ and $O_2$. The process was accompanied by low pressure in-situ annealing in $O_2$ at $600^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$ respectively. Hall effect in Van der Pauw configuration showed that the N-doped ZnO film annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ has p-type conductivity. Photoluminescence(PL) spectrum of the film annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ showed UV emission related to exciton and bound to donor-acceptor pair(DAP) as well as visible emission related to many intrinsic defects.

Si 원료물질로 $SiH_2Cl_2$, N 원료물질로 $NH_3$를 사용하여 증착온도 $550^{\circ}C$에서 P-type Si (100) 기판위에 실리콘 질화막을 원자층 증착 방법으로 형성하고 물리적, 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 증착된 박막의 두께는 증착 주기의 횟수에 대해 선형적으로 증가하였고, Si와 N 원료물질의 공급량이 $3.0\times10^{9}$ L 일 때 0.13 nm/cycle의 박막 성장속도를 얻을 수 있었다. 원자층 증착된 박막의 물리적 특성을 기존의 저압화학증착 방법에 의해 증착된 박막과 비교한 결과, 원자층 증착 방법을 사용함으로써 기존의 방법보다 증착온도를 $200 ^{\circ}C$이상 낮추면서도 굴절률 및 습식에칭 속도 측면에서 유사한 물성을 가진 실리콘 질화막을 형성할 수 있었다. 특히, 원자층 증착된 박막의 누설 전류밀도는 3 MV/cm의 전기장에서 0.79 nA/$\textrm{cm}^2$로서 저압화학증착 방법에 의해 증착된 질화막의 6.95 nA/$\textrm{cm}^2$보다 우수하였다.

To get high efficiency n-type crystalline silicon solar cells, passivation is one of the key factor. Tunnel oxide (SiO2) reduce surface recombination as a passivation layer and it does not constrict the majority carrier flow. In this work, the passivation quality enhanced by different chemical solution such as HNO3, H2SO4:H2O2 and DI-water to make thin tunnel oxide layer on n-type crystalline silicon wafer and changes of characteristics by subsequent annealing process and firing process after phosphorus doped amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) deposition. The tunneling of carrier through oxide layer is checked through I-V measurement when the voltage is from -1 V to 1 V and interface state density also be calculated about $1{\times}1012cm-2eV-1$ using MIS (Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor) structure . Tunnel oxide produced by 68 wt% HNO3 for 5 min on $100^{\circ}C$, H2SO4:H2O2 for 5 min on $100^{\circ}C$ and DI-water for 60 min on $95^{\circ}C$. The oxide layer is measured thickness about 1.4~2.2 nm by spectral ellipsometry (SE) and properties as passivation layer by QSSPC (Quasi-Steady-state Photo Conductance). Tunnel oxide layer is capped with phosphorus doped amorphous silicon on both sides and additional annealing process improve lifetime from $3.25{\mu}s$ to $397{\mu}s$ and implied Voc from 544 mV to 690 mV after P-doped a-Si deposition, respectively. It will be expected that amorphous silicon is changed to poly silicon phase. Furthermore, lifetime and implied Voc were recovered by forming gas annealing (FGA) after firing process from $192{\mu}s$ to $786{\mu}s$. It is shown that the tunnel oxide layer is thermally stable.

Experimental results are reported concerning temperture effects from room temperature to 100\ulcorner on the optical properties of N-and P-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon films prepared by RF glow discharege. Optical absorption coefficient and optical bandgap have been measured and analyzed as a function of temperature. Optical absorption coefficient increase monotonically with temperature, while the optical bandgape of doped amorphous silicons decrease linearly by about 4-7x10**-4 [ev/k].

This paper presents a process optimization of antireflectiun (AR) coating on crystalline Si solar cells. Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed on a doble-layer AR(DLAR) coating of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$, We investigated CeO$_2$ films as an All layer because they hale a proper refractive index of 2.46 and demonstrate the same lattice constant as Si substrate. RF sputter grown CeO$_2$ film showed strong dependence on a deposition temperature. The CeO$_2$ film deposited at 400 $^{\circ}C$ exhibited a strong (111) preferred orientation and the lowest surface roughness of 6.87 $\AA$. Refractive index of MgF$_2$ film was measured as 1.386 for the most of growth temperature. An optimized DLAR coating showed a reflectance as low as 2.04 % in the wavelengths ranged from 0.4 7m to 1.1 7m. We achieved the efficiencies of solar cells greater than 15% with 3.12 % improvement with DLAR coatings . Further details on MgF$_2$, CeO$_2$ films, and cell fabrication Parameters are presented in this paper.

Molybdenum oxide ($MoO_3$) offers pivotal advantages for high optical transparency and low light reflection. Considering device fabrication, n-type $MoO_3$ semiconductor can spontaneously establish a junction with p-type Si. Since the energy bandgap of Si is 1.12 eV, a maximum photon wavelength of around 1,100 nm is required to initiate effective photoelectric reaction. However, the utilization of infrared photons is very limited for Si photonics. Hence, to enhance the Si photoelectric devices, we applied the wide energy bandgap $MoO_3$ (3.7 eV) top-layer onto Si. Using a large-scale production method, a wafer-scale $MoO_3$ device was fabricated with a highly crystalline structure. The $MoO_3/p-Si$ heterojunction device provides distinct photoresponses for long wavelength photons at 900 nm and 1,100 nm with extremely fast response times: rise time of 65.69 ms and fall time of 71.82 ms. We demonstrate the high-performing $MoO_3/p-Si$ infrared photodetector and provide a design scheme for the extension of Si for the utilization of long-wavelength light.
