abstract = {Conductive hydrogenated silicon carbide (SiCx:H) is
discovered as a promising hydrogenation material for tunnel
oxide passivating contacts (TOPCon) solar cells. The
proposed SiCx:H layer enables a good passivation quality and
features a good electrical conductivity, which eliminates
the need of etching back of SiNx:H and indium tin oxide
(ITO)/Ag deposition for metallization and reduces the number
of process steps. The SiCx:H is deposited by hot wire
chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) and the filament
temperature (Tf) during deposition is systematically
investigated. Via tuning the SiCx:H layer, implied
open-circuit voltages (iVoc) up to 742 ± 0.5 mV and a
contact resistivity (ρc) of 21.1 ± 5.4 mΩ·cm2 is
achieved using SiCx:H on top of poly-Si(n)/SiOx/c-Si(n)
stack at Tf of 2000 °C. Electrochemical
capacitance–voltage (ECV) and secondary ion mass
spectrometry (SIMS) measurements were conducted to
investigate the passivation mechanism. Results show that the
hydrogenation at the SiOx/c-Si(n) interface is responsible
for the high passivation quality. To assess its validity,
the TOPCon stack was incorporated as rear electron
selective-contact in a proof-of-concept n-type solar cells
featuring ITO/a-Si:H(p)/a-Si:H(i) as front hole
selective-contact, which demonstrates a conversion
efficiency up to $21.4\%,$ a noticeable open-circuit voltage
(Voc) of 724 mV and a fill factor (FF) of $80\%.$},
