Abstract

A remote silane plasma, capable of depositing solar grade a-Si:H at a rate of 10 nm/s and with an up to ten times higher hole drift mobility than standard a-Si:H, has been investigated by means of several plasma diagnostics. The creation of the different reactive species in the plasma and their contribution to film growth has been analyzed and is correlated with the film properties obtained under various conditions. Furthermore, the first results on a n-i-p solar cell with the intrinsic a-Si:H film deposited by this remote plasma are presented.
