Is Carrier Mobility a Limiting Factor for Charge Transfer in Tio2/Si Devices? A Study by Transient Reflectance Spectroscopy
Abstract
<p>TiO<sub>2</sub> coatings are often deposited over silicon-based devices for surface passivation and corrosion protection. However, the charge transfer (CT) across the TiO<sub>2</sub>/Si interface is critical as it may instigate potential losses and recombination of charge carriers in optoelectronic devices. Therefore, to investigate the CT across the TiO<sub>2</sub>/Si interface, transient reflectance (TR) spectroscopy was employed as a contact-free method to evaluate the impact of interfacial SiO<sub>x</sub>, heat-treatments, and other phenomena on the CT. Thin-film interference model was adapted to separate signals for Si and TiO<sub>2</sub> and to estimate the number of transferred carriers. Charge transfer velocity was found to be 5.2 × 10<sup>4</sup> cm s<sup>−1</sup> for TiO<sub>2</sub> heat-treated at 300 °C, and even faster for amorphous TiO<sub>2</sub> if the interfacial SiO<sub>x</sub> layer was removed using HF before TiO<sub>2</sub> deposition. However, the interface is easily oversaturated because of slow carrier diffusion in TiO<sub>2</sub> away from the TiO<sub>2</sub>/Si interface. This inhibits CT, which could become an issue for heavily concentrated solar devices. Also, increasing the heat-treatment temperature from 300 °C to 550 °C has only little impact on the CT time but leads to reduced carrier lifetime of ¡3 ns in TiO<sub>2</sub> due to back recombination via the interfacial SiO<sub>x</sub>, which is detrimental to TiO<sub>2</sub>/Si device performance.</p>
