1. Although the damaged region at the SiΝ X:H-Si was experimentally identified,<br />
additional research is needed to: (a) underst<strong>and</strong> the types <strong>of</strong> defects/traps in this region<br />
<strong>and</strong> (b) the charge distribution which dominates the surface (interface) recombination at<br />
low injection levels. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) is the technique that can<br />
lead to quantifying the interface traps.<br />
2. The previous model <strong>of</strong> SiΝ X:H-Si interface recombination was modified in this<br />
work. In order for the recombination in Si <strong>solar</strong> <strong>cells</strong> to be studied in detail, a thorough<br />
study <strong>of</strong> the SiΝX Si interface <strong>and</strong> the N+/P junction is required.<br />
3. More lifetime measurements <strong>and</strong> surface recombination velocity calculations<br />
need to be performed to support the modeling results.<br />
4. Detailed analyses, such as the process <strong>of</strong> vacancy injection in rapid thermal<br />
anneal step, H transport <strong>and</strong> evolution from the nitride layer to the <strong>bulk</strong> Si region, etc, are<br />
necessary to determine the optimum process for ΡΕCVD-SiΝ X :H-assissted H <strong>passivation</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> Si <strong>solar</strong> <strong>cells</strong>.
