Simulation and implementation of a porous silicon reflector for epitaxial silicon solar cells

One of the main challenges in the ongoing development of thin film crystalline silicon solar cells on a supporting silicon substrate is the implementation of a long‐wavelength reflector at the interface between the epitaxial layer and the substrate. IMEC has developed such a reflector based on electrochemical anodization of silicon to create a multi‐layer porous silicon stack with alternating high and low porosity layers. This innovation results in a 1–2% absolute increase in efficiency for screenprinted epitaxial cells with a record of 13·8%. To reach a better understanding of the reflector and to aid in its continued optimization, several extensive optical simulations have been performed using an in‐house‐developed optical software programme. This software is written as a Microsoft Excel workbook to make use of its user‐friendliness and modular structure. It can handle up to 15 individual dielectric layers and is used to determine the influence of the number and the sequence of the layers on the internal reflection. A sensitivity analysis is also presented. A study of the angle at which the light strikes the reflector shows separate regions in the physical working of the reflector which include a region where the Bragg effect is dominant as well as a region where total internal reflection plays the largest role. The existence of these regions is proved using reflection measurements. Based on these findings, an estimate is made for the achievable current gain with an ideal reflector and the potential of epitaxial silicon solar cells is determined.

Isolation of silicon film grown on porous silicon layer

We have investigated a new technology for dielectric isolation of a Si film grown epitaxially on a porous silicon layer. After oxidation of the porous silicon layer, a Si on Ohcidized Porous Silicon(SOPS) structure can be obtained. It is proposed that micropores pinch off quickly in the interfacial region between the porous silicon layer and the epitaxial film. A minimum yield calculated from Rutherford backscattering spectra of the epitaxial silicon film is 5.3%, and an electron Hall mobility of 600cm²/V.s is obtained in the film with a carrier concentration of 1 x 10¹⁷ /cm³. MOSFETs were fabricated on the SOPS structure.     

The effect of surface species on the photoluminescence of porous silicon

The photoluminescence of porous Si immersed in alcohol exhibits a blue shift and a marked decrease in intensity relatively to dry, as-anodized wafers. However, when the immersed samples are treated with ultraviolet (UV) light for a few minutes, the photoluminescence (PL) peak shifts to longer wavelength. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals that alkoxy surface species and silicon hydride species backbonded to oxygen atoms appear on the UV-treated samples. Furthermore, the PL characteristics and surface species of the UV-treated samples can be recovered to those of as-anodized wafers by dipping in hydrofluoric acid. These results point out the importance of surface chemistry in the luminescence process of porous Si.

Application research on the sensitivity of porous silicon

Applications based on sensitive property of porous silicon (PSi) were researched. As a kind of porous material, the feasibility of PSi as a getter material was studied. Five groups of samples with different parameters were prepared. The gas-sensing property of PSi was studied by the test system and suitable parameters of PSi were also discussed. Meanwhile a novel structure of humidity sensor, using porous silicon as humidity-sensitive material, based on MEMS process has been successfully designed. The humidity-sensing properties were studied by a test system. Because of the polysilicon layer deposited upon the PSi layer, the humidity sensor can realize a quick dehumidification by itself. To extend service life and reduce the effect of the environment, a passivation layer (Si₃N₄) was also deposited on the surface of electrodes. The result indicated the novel humidity sensor presented high sensitivity (1.1 pF/RH%), low hysteresis, low temperature coefficient (0.5%RH/℃) and high stability.

Downward uniformity and optical properties of porous silicon layers

Porous silicon (PS) samples were fabricated by pulse current etching using different times. The downward uniformity and optical properties of the PS layers have been investigated using reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The relationship between the refractive index and the optical thickness of PS samples and the etching depth has been analyzed in detail. As the etching depth increases, the average refractive index decreases, indicating that the porosity becomes higher, and the formation rate of the optical thickness decreases. Meanwhile, the reflectance spectra exhibit less intense interference oscillations,which mean the uniformity and interface smoothness of the PS layers become worse. In addition, the intensity of PL emission spectra is slightly increased.
