    Abstract

    In order to investigate relationship between photovoltaic and diode characteristic parameters, we fabricated four kinds of samples ofSn/p-SiSchottky type photovoltaics using surface treatment by anodic oxidation and chemical etching method. Diode and photovoltaiccharacteristics of the samples were determined from the currentvoltage measurements performed in dark and under illumination. Etch-ing time of front surface of the p-Sisubstrate inHFsolution used in the fabrication ofSn/p-SiSchottky type photovoltaics was found tobe very influential on diode and photovoltaic parameters. Especially, an etching time of 30 s showed a positive effect both on diode andphotovoltaic characteristic parameters. It was also observed that the characteristic parameters of the samples were affected negativelydepending on the over-etching time. More importantly, a close relationship between photovoltaic parameters (fill factor, conversion effi-ciency) and diode parameters (ideality factor, series resistance) was observed. 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

    1. Introduction

    During the fabrication of metal/semiconductorrectifying contacts, an oxide layer on the surface of inor-ganic semiconductors may form. Diode characteristicparameters such as ideality factor (n), barrier height Ub,series resistance (Rs) can be affected by the oxide layer

    (Cowley and Sze, 1965; Card and Rhoderick, 1971; Sze,1981; Rhoderick and Williams, 1988). In other words, thecharacteristics of Schottky diode with an interface layermay not obey the ideal Schottky theory. In the Schottkydiode fabrication, effects of interface states on thecurrentvoltage characteristics had been investigated

    previously by a controlled surface oxidation and removalof the surface oxide layer (Ziel, 1968). Interface states havea dominant role on contact characteristics of a metal/semiconductor rectifying structures. Thus, the photovoltaiccharacteristics of Schottky type photovoltaic can beinfluenced from the surface treatment. We had investigatedthe effect of surface treatment on diode characteristics in

    Sn/p-Si Schottky diodes before (Temirci et al., 2001).However, the goal of the present study is to investigaterelationships between photovoltaic and diode characteristicparameters in Sn/p-Si Schottky type photovoltaics. Forthis reason, four kinds of Sn/p-Si Schottky typephotovoltaics were produced using anodic oxidationand chemical surface cleaning procedure together.The relationships between photovoltaic and diodeparameters such as fill factor, conversion efficiency,ideality factor, series resistance were interpreted as an

    influence of surface treatment by anodization-chemicaletching process.

    2. Experimental procedure

    P-typeSiwafer with (100) orientation and resistivity of

    110X

    cm was used to fabricate Sn/p-Si contacts. Thewafer was chemically cleaned using the standard RCA pro-cedure (10-min boil in NH4+ H2O2+ 6H2O followed by a10-min boil in HCl + H2O2+ 6H2O) and etched withdilute HF:H2O (1:10) for 30 s to remove the native oxidelayer on the surface. Before each step, the wafer was rinsedin deionized water with a resistivity of 18 MX. Then it wasdried under N2 atmosphere and inserted into a vacuumcoating unit for metallization. The ohmic contact wasmade by evaporating Al on the back surface of the sub-strate, followed by a temperature treatment at 580 C for3 min in N2 atmosphere. The wafer was cut into fourpieces with a dimension of about 5 mm 5 mm. A piece

    of them was immediately inserted into the evaporationchamber for forming the reference Sn/p-SiSchottky typephotovoltaics. This sample was called S0 (the referencesample). Before Schottky contact formation, the front sur-faces of the other samples with ohmic back contacts wereanodized in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte at a current densityof 1.0 mA/cm2 under constant current condition and atroom temperature. The details of the anodization processhave been presented previously (Saglam et al., 1997;Temirci et al., 2001). The second sample has been etchedfor 30 s with %10 hydrofluoric (HF) acid solution afteranodic oxidation process using 0.1 M potassium hydroxide

    (KOH) solution, and the sample was named as S30. Thethird and fourth samples have also been etched using HFsolution of %10 with the etching periods of 60 and 75 safter the anodic oxidation process using 0.1 M KOH solu-tion and they have been named as S60 and S75, respec-tively. All of the anodization process of the samples wasperformed at a constant current of 1 mA/cm2 and contin-ued up to 21 V. Anodization and etching processes wererepeated several times. Finally each sample was insertedinto the evaporation chamber and Sn evaporated on thefront surface of them with a thickness of about 80 nm.Film thickness of the top contact was controlled by thefilm thickness monitoring system in the vacuum coaterunit. First, reference sample was produced without per-forming anodic oxidation process. The others were pro-duced using anodization and etching process withvarious etching period. Thus, we produced Sn/p-Siphoto-voltaic samples which have various interfacial layers. Allevaporation processes were performed in a vacuum coatingunit at about 105 Torr. The currentvoltage (IV) mea-surements of the samples were carried out using a Keithley6487 Picoammeter/Voltage source at room temperature.Diode measurements were performed in the dark. Thephotovoltaic measurements were carried out under an illu-mination of 100 mW/cm2 and AM1.5, using a solar

    simulator.

    3. Results and discussion

    The IVmeasurements were performed of the samplesat room temperature, in dark and under illumination inorder to find out diode and photovoltaic characteristics,respectively. The current data obtained from IVmeasure-

    ments in dark and under illumination have been convertedto the current value per unit area. The IVplots under illu-mination and in dark were given at the same graph in orderto see clearly the photovoltaic effects of the produced Sn/p-SiSchottky type photovoltaics (Figs. 14). As can be seenfromFigs. 14, all of the samples show a rectifier behaviorand exhibit a photovoltaic effect under illumination. Pho-tovoltaic effects of the samples reveal themselves especiallyat the case of reverse bias.

    The IV graphs (Figs. 14) showing a rectifier featuremeans that they comply with simple thermionic emissiontheory (TE). According to theTE, the forward bias currentof a rectifier device must be exponential and it can be

    expressed as (Ziel, 1968; Sze, 1981; Rhoderick andWilliams, 1988):

    R* represents Richardsons constant, which is equal to32 A cm2 K2 for p-Si.

    For qV > 3kT, the second term in brackets on the rightside of Eq. (1) is negligible, and the equation can be re-written as follows:

    n is named as ideality factor and it is a measure of

    conformity of the diode to pure thermionic emission and

    is determined from the slope of the straight line region ofthe forward bias lnIVcharacteristics through the relation,

    In the case of an ideal contact (MS), the value of idealityfactor of a rectifier contact must be equal to 1 or at least

    very close to 1 (Temirci et al., 2001). But, experimentalresults of ideality factor often show a deviation from thetheory. This situation can be originated from the effect ofthe bias voltage drop across the interfacial layer. Therefore,if ideality factor is greater than 1, it can be said that diodeis nonideal. Ideality factor is usually taken into account tofind out IV relationship of nonideal diode behaviors(Cheung and Cheung, 1986). The value of barrier heightis calculated from Eq. (2) as

    Using Eqs.(4) and (5), the values of ideality factor andbarrier height were obtained from the IVdata of the sam-ples, respectively. The highest value of 0.8 eV for the bar-rier height has been obtained in the S0 sample. Thecontacts in theS0 sample have higher barrier height valuesthan those of the others. Besides this, they have relativelyhigh ideality factor values. These indicate that there maybe a native oxide layer between tin and silicon interface.Thus, the contacts of S0 sample have obeyed a metal-interfacial layer-semiconductor (MIS) configuration ratherthan a metalsemiconductor (MS) structure. However, thecontacts ofS30 sample have smaller values of ideality fac-tor than the others. This indicates that they are close to the

    ideal diode in terms of their characteristics. Ideality factor

    values ofS60 and S75samples are greater than those ofS0andS30 samples, and barrier height values ofS60 and S75samples are lower than those of the S0and S30sample. Wecan deduce that etching process shows positive effect whenetching time is 30 s. In addition, when the etching time isincreased (for a period of 60 and 75 s), diode characteristics

    are affected negatively from over-etching process. That is,over-etching process has lead to distortion of the interfaceof the contacts ofS60andS75. The ideality factor values ofthe produced samples greater than 1 indicates that we musttake into account the series resistance in the calculations.To check the results obtained from IVdata and to deter-mine the series resistance value of the samples, we can rear-range Eq. (1) by considering a voltage drop across thediode due to series resistance (Cheung and Cheung, 1986),

    I Io exp qVIRs

    nkT

    6

    whereIRsterm is the voltage drop across the diode due toseries resistance. We can derive the Cheungs functionsusing Eq.(6)as follows (Cheung and Cheung, 1986):

    dlnI

    nkT

    q IRs 7

    HI V nkT

    q

    IRs 8

    HI nUb IRs 9

    Eq. (7) is a linear equation and thus it should give astraight line for the data of the downward curvature regionof the forward biasIVcharacteristics. So, the slope and y-

    axis intercept of a plot ofdV/d(ln I) versus Iwill give Rsand nkT/q, respectively. According to Eq. (9), a plot ofH(I) versus Iwill also give a straight line and y-axis inter-cept of the plot will give nUb. The slope of this plot alsoprovides a second determination ofRs, which can be usedto check the consistency of Cheung and Cheungsapproach. Only two graphs associated with these functionsare given here as Figs. 5 and 6.

    Barrier height value for a metal/semiconductor rectifiercontact varies with the applied voltage under the forwardbias condition. The potential across the interfacial layervaries with the bias. This implies that interface chargemight be changed with the bias. Since interface chargemay be changed as a result of the applied voltage, barrierheight may be modified. Therefore, an additional barrierincrease in the forward bias comes from the potentialchange across the interfacial layer (Ayyildiz et al., 2001).

    As can be seen fromTable 1, an effective value of barrierheight (qUb) has been obtained at the range from 0.70 to0.80 eV for the reference sample (sample S0). Furthermore,the values of ideality factor of the reference sample (S0)Sn/p-SiSBDs range from 1.12 to 1.19. For all of the dots ofthe sample S30, whose anodic oxide layer formed on p-Siwas removed by etching for 30 s with HF:H2O (1:10) solu-tion (the passivation method), effective values of barrier

    height (qUb) have ranged from 0.74 to 0.75 eV. The ideality

    factor values of the dots of this device have ranged from1.05 to1.08. For the samples S60 and S75, the values ofbarrier height (qUb) have ranged from 0.55 to 0.59 eVand from 0.58 to 0.59 eV, respectively. The ideality factorvalues of the same samples range from 1.29 to 1.30 andfrom 1.19 to 1.29, respectively. The lowest and the highestresistance values were determined as 0.17 X and 42.21 X forthe dot 1 of the samples S60and S0, respectively.

    The average values of ideality factor were calculated as1.16, 1.06, 1.30, 1.24 for the four samples ofS0, S30, S60and S75, respectively. Conversion efficiency for each pho-tovoltaic is given inTable 1. These values are understoodto be comparable to those of the literature (Ji andAnderson, 2005; Soylu and Yakuphanoglu, 2011;Hussain and Rahman, 2015; Halder et al., 2015). More effi-

    cient photovoltaics, of course, could be produced using

    various techniques (Razykov et al., 2011; Parida et al.,2015; Da and Xuan, 2015; Xi et al., 2015). However, it isalso very important to disclose experimentally the relation-ships between diode and photovoltaic parameters. It isunderstood from the obtained numerical data and the plot-ted graphs that the devices ofS30 sample have better bothdiode and photovoltaic characteristics than the others. So,we can say that if a sample has a better diode characteristicit has a better photovoltaic characteristic. For determiningphotovoltaic properties of the produced samples, IVmea-surements were performed by a solar simulator under

    AM1.5 and 100 mW/cm2

    illumination. The currentvolt-age curves under illumination are given in Figs. 710 indetail. After determining the characteristics such as shortcircuit current Isc and open circuit voltage Voc fromFigs. 710, the values of fill factor (FF) and conversion

    efficiency (g) of the samples can be calculated by usingEqs.(10) and (11), (Fonash, 2010),

    FFVmIm

    VocIsc10

    where Vm and Im are the maximum voltage and maximumcurrent, respectively corresponding to the maximum out-put power. Voc and Isc are named open circuit voltageand short circuit current, respectively. FF is the ratio ofthe rectangular area formed by the multiplication of VmandI

    mto the rectangular area formed by the multiplication

    ofVoc and Isc.FFmust obey to the limitation ofFF6 1, asbased on recognition. A second parameter of a photo-voltaic device is the conversion efficiency g, and it is givenas follow,

    g VmIm

    Pin11

    where Pin is the incoming photon power per surface area.FF and g values of the samples were calculated usingEqs.(10) and (11)withFigs. 710. Photovoltaic and electri-cal values of each device were given inTable 1, and meanvalues of them are given inTable 2. TheIscnotation, given

    inTable 2, actually shows the current value per unit area.As seen from Table 1, the electrical and photovoltaicparameters have varied from device to device. However,variations of diodes and photovoltaic parameters for eachdevice are understood to be proportional to each other. Inaddition, it is clear fromTable 2that there is a relationshipbetween the changes of electrical and photovoltaic param-eters. Namely, according to the values ofTable 2, it seemsthat there is an inverse relationship between the values ofthe FF and the n. In addition, it seems that there is alsoan inversely proportional relationship between ideality fac-tor and conversion efficiency. Moreover, it is clear thatthere is an inverse proportion between the values of seriesresistance obtained using the Cheungs functions from thedark IV data and the values of FF. Furthermore, thereis also an inverse proportion between the values of seriesresistance and the values of efficiency. The relationshipsbetween series resistance and photovoltaic parameters areconsistent with those of the literature (Goetzberger et al.,1998). Recently, the relationship between some electricalparameters such as carrier concentration, mobility andphotovoltaic parameters have been studied using a hetero-

    junction structure (Minami et al., 2016). In the presentstudy, the dependence of photovoltaic parameters (effi-ciency and fill factor) onto ideality factor and series resis-tance have been examined using Sn/p-Si Schottkystructure. Fig. 11 shows the mean currentvoltage

    characteristics of contacts of each sample underillumination. The relationship between photovoltaic anddiode parameters of Sn/p-Si Schottky structures areshown clearly fromFig. 11. We can deduce from Fig. 11that if the values of ideality factor and series resistanceare higher, the values of fill factor and efficiency will be

    lower.

    4. Conclusion

    We have investigated experimentally the relationshipbetween photovoltaic and diode parameters of four kindsof Sn/p-SiSchottky type photovoltaic samples using sur-face treatment by anodic oxidation and chemical etchingmethod. We found that there is a close relationshipbetween photovoltaic and diode parameters. In this con-text, the following results were obtained: The best charac-teristic value for the diodes and photovoltaics wasobtained with the sample S30, one of the four samples.

    Moreover, we observed deterioration in characteristics ofdiode and photovoltaic for an etching time of 60 and75 s. More importantly, it was observed that fill factorand conversion efficiency has an inversely proportionalrelationship with ideality factor, as seen from Table 2andFig. 11. Similarly, fill factor and conversion efficiencyare also inversely proportional to series resistance. We havenot included interface states to this study. We believe that athorough investigation of this parameter can moreenlighten the relationships between diode and photovoltaiccharacteristics.
