Damp Heat Degradation of Polycrystalline Silicon Passivated Contacts

Research output: NRELPoster

Abstract

After 1000 hours of damp heat exposure at 85% humidity and 85 C, LPCVD n-poly and p-poly are stable for both metallized and non-metallized regions whereas for PECVD, only n-poly is stable; PECVD p-poly suffers significant degradation and defects became more pronounced with exposure time; and PECVD p-poly degrades more than LPCVD p-poly with or without additional dielectric layers (i.e., SiNx + Al2O3 stack).
