摘要
The emitter saturation current density J0 was measured on diffused boron emitters in silicon for the case in which the emitter surface is passivated by a thermal oxide and for the case in which Al/Si is deposited on the emitter surface. The oxide-passivated emitters have a surface recombination velocity s which is near its lowest technologically achievable value. In contrast, the emitters with Al/Si on the surface have surface recombination velocities which approach the maximum possible value of s. From the J0 measurements, the apparent band-gap narrowing as a function of boron doping was found. Using this bandgap narrowing data, the surface recombination velocity at the Si/SiO2 interface was extracted for surface boron concentrations from 3 x 10(17) to 3 x 10(19) cm-3.
