Abstract:
Passivation of Si surfaces can reduce the recombination losses at surfaces/interfaces and is therefore of high technological interest for development of Si based devices. In this study Si surfaces modified by wet-chemical and electrochemical treatments were investigated by pulsed in-situ photoluminescence (PL) techniques. PL is contactless and suitable to inspect the recombination behavior at the Si surfaces/interfaces.
