It will be shown on symmetrical lifetime samples that tunnel oxide passivating contacts (TOPCon) featuring thermally grown interfacial oxide layer allow a higher optimum annealing temperature than those with thin wet-chemically grown oxides. These TOPCon structures can yield an excellent passivation quality with up to 741 mV iVoc and 88% iFF. Moreover, TOPCon samples annealed at low temperatures benefit more strongly from a subsequent hydrogenation process.enPhotovoltaikSilicium-PhotovoltaikHerstellung und Analyse von hocheffizienten Solarzellen621697Study on the Interfacial Oxide in Passivating Contactsconference paper
