520 _ _ |a High rate growth process, material quality and related solar cell performance of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon ($\mu$c-Si:H) were investigated in this work. High deposition rate (R$_{D}$) was achieved by very high frequency (VHF) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) working at high pressure and high power (hphP). Compared to the $\mu$c-Si:H material deposited with conventional low pressure, low power (lplP), the hphP films showed equivalent optical and electrical properties, indicating their abilities as absorbers in thin film silicon solar cells. The influences of the deposition parameters on the solar cell deposition rate and performance were systematically investigated in this thesis. It was found that optimum cells were always found close to the transition from highly microcrystalline to the amorphous growth and with medium crystallinity. Variations of many deposition parameters can tune the crystallinity. Among them, varying silane concentration (SC) is the most easy and straightforward way. Under optimized conditions, high efficiency of 9.8% was obtained at RD over 1 nm/s for a single junction p-i-n solar cell. Efforts were also made to find out the correlation between the material properties and solar cell performance. The Raman structure depth profile method revealed that hphP solar cells consisted of a more amorphous incubation layer at the p/i interface, which was found to reduce the short wavelength light response of the solar cells. Besides PECVD, Hot Wire (HW) CVD is an alternative method for $\mu$c-Si:H deposition. It was found that HWCVD $\mu$c-Si H cells showed higher V$_{OC}$ and FF than the PECVD cells in a wide range of i-layer crystallinity. This was attributed to the better p/i interface quality in the HWCVD cells. Inserting an intrinsic microcrystalline p/i interface layer deposited by HWCVD into PECVD cells nearly eliminated the above differences. Raman structure depth profile, transmission electron microscopy and selective area electron diffraction were applied to investigate the structure properties of the solar cells. However, differences could hardly be found in the already homogeneous i-layers of PECVD and HWCVD cells. Thus the positive effect of the HW-buffer for facilitating nucleation was not observed. An amorphous HW-buffer layer in PECVD cells resulted in a more amorphous p/i interface and an increasing crystallinity along the growth axis. However, such amorphous interface layer still enhanced the V$_{OC}$ and FF of the resulting cells. Therefore, it was concluded that structure homogeneity was not the reason for the better performance of the HWCVD cells. Applying the HW-buffer concept to the PECVD hphP cells, we obtained a high efficiency of 10.3% at a high R$_{D}$ of 1.1 nm/s. This is the highest efficiency reported so far for the single junction $\mu$c-Si:H solar cells in p-i-n configuration.
