abstract = {Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) is a potential candidate to
substitute tin-doped indium oxide in silicon heterojunction
(SHJ) solar cells due to its low cost and low ecological
impact. The AZO, sputtered at room temperature (RT), is of
particular interest because of low thermal budget and
potential for high throughput production with the
well-established industrial methods. In SHJ solar cells,
high effective carrier lifetime prerequisite for the high
open-circuit voltage is achieved with surface passivation by
intrinsic amorphous silicon layers followed by doped silicon
layers. The passivation quality may be affected by the
subsequent sputtering of an AZO layer especially at RT. In
this article, we investigated the influence of the AZO
sputtering and postdeposition annealing on the effective
carrier lifetime in symmetrical silicon layer stacks with n-
or p-type doped silicon layers and solar cell precursors. It
has been found that the effective carrier lifetime
significantly decreased after AZO sputtering at RT. The
detrimental effect of AZO sputtering is substrate
temperature dependent and is smaller or even absent at
elevated temperatures. However, postdeposition annealing,
equivalent to the Ag paste curing, mostly recovered the
effective carrier lifetime in the symmetrical stacks as well
as in the cell precursors. Finally, an aperture area
efficiency of $21.2\%$ has been achieved for the 19 mm × 19
mm SHJ solar cell prepared with room temperature sputtered
AZO.},
