RT Book, Section T1 Hydrogenated amorphous silicon deposited by high pressure sputtering for HIT solar cells A1 Martil De La Plaza, Ignacio A1 García Hemme, Eric A1 García Hernansanz, Rodrigo A1 González Díaz, Germán A1 Olea Ariza, Javier A1 Prado Millán, Álvaro Del A2 García, Héctor A2 Castán, Helena AB Hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films were deposited using a high pressure sputtering (HPS) system. In this work, we have studied the composition and optical properties of the films (band-gap, absorption coefficient), and their dependence with the deposition parameters. For films deposited at high pressure (1 mbar), composition measurements show a critical dependence of the purity of the films with the RF power. Films manufactured with RF-power above 80W exhibit good properties for future application, similar to the films deposited by CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) for hydrogenated amorphous silicon.
