OUR ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO PECVD

Better efficiency

In a comparison of the two technologies, ALD offered an average gain of 0.2% higher efficiency for PERC compared to the MW-PECVD AIOx.

Higher uptime / output

It’s known that the average uptime of MW-PECVD deposition technique is about 80-85%. The combination of InPassion ALD with SPECTRUM PECVD is about 95%.

Less TMA usage

Due to the fact that the ALD layer is only 5nm thick, and a standard PECVD layer is about 20nm, the saving is about factor 4.

More margin

Savings in TMA consumption along with higher efficiency and output result in a much higher margin for the customer.

  • Industrially Relevant Al2O3 Deposition Techniques For The Surface Passivation Solar Cells

    Jan Schmidt, Florian Werner, Boris Veith, Dimitri Zielke, Robert Bock, Veronica Tiba, Paul Poodt, Fred Roozeboom, Andrew Li, Andres Cuevas and Rolf Brendel We present independently confirmed efficiencies of 21.4% for PERC cells with plasma-assisted atom-ic-layer-deposited (plasma ALD) Al2O3 rear passivation and 20.7% for cells with thermal ALD-Al2O3. Additionally, we evaluate three different...

  • High-Speed Spatial Atomic-Layer Deposition of Aluminum Oxide Layers for Solar Cell Passivation

    By Paul Poodt, Adriaan Lankhorst, Fred Roozeboom, Karel Spee, Diederik Maas and Ad VermeerAtomic-layer deposition (ALD) is a deposition technique capable of producing very thin conformal films with control of the thickness and composition of the films at the atomic level.In this Communication we show that with spatially separated ALD of Al2O3 , growth rates of1.2 nm/s can be achieved, showing...
