• Passivating Contacts for Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells: From Concepts and Materials to Prospects (2018, background): “The reflection and absorption induced by the layers on the front side of the solar cell are normally minimized by using very wide bandgap materials to achieve combined antireflective and passivating properties, such as SiNx stacked on top of Al2O3 [156].”
• Structural and XPS characterization of ALD Al2O3 coated porous silicon (2015, neutral): “Al2O3 ultra-thin films have been investigated for many applications like surface passivation [8,9], gas diffusion barrier [10], interfacial buffering for high-k dielectrics [11,12], and nanolaminates [13,14].”
• Dielectric surface passivation for silicon solar cells: A review (2017, methodology): “A more detailed description of these mechanisms, the deposition technology, and the application of AlOx-based passivation to solar cells can be found in Dingemans and Kessels’ 2012 review paper [309].”
