Abstract
The deposition of SiNx:H as anti-reflection coating has become a standard step in industrial production of silicon solar cells. In the present work the improvement of the anti-reflection properties and thus the improvement of the short circuit current density by deposition of a SiNx:H double layer coating are investigated. It is shown that an optimised double layer coating with indices n(1) approximate to 1.8 and n(2) approximate to 2.1 only leads to an 1.3% improvement of short circuit current in comparison to an optimised single layer coating with n approximate to 1.9. But the deposition of a SiNx:H layer with higher refractive index on the silicon surface is supposed to lead to a good surface and bulk passivation. The passivating properties of the optically optimised double layer coating will he investigated in following experiments.
