abstract = {Microcrystalline silicon fabricated by plasma-enhanced
chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) is commonly used as an
absorber material in thin-film tandem solar cells. The
source gases used in the μc-Si:H PECVD process are silane
and hydrogen. One way to further increase the production
efficiency of solar modules is to increase the gas
utilization during deposition of the silicon absorber layer.
In this work this is achieved by reducing the hydrogen flow.
These deposition conditions are known to promote powder
formation in the plasma, which can be detrimental for the
solar cell’s conversion efficiency as well as for the
maintenance of the system. Therefore, an easily applicable
approach to determine powder formation in-situ during the
PECVD process is presented. Both the self-bias-voltage and
the ratio of the optical emissions from SiH* to Hβ as
function of the gas residence time in the plasma is used to
determine the onset of powder formation. Furthermore, a
clear link between the precursor gas residence time in the
plasma to the onset of powder formation is shown independent
of the chosen pressure.},
