  • Enhancement of minority carrier lifetimes in n- and p-type silicon wafers using silver nanoparticle layers

The quasi-steady state photo conductance technique is employed to probe effective minority carrier lifetime (τ eff) modifications after integrating silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on n-type and p-type silicon wafers with a native oxide surface. Our observations reveal that τ eff modification is very sensitive to Ag NPs size, surface coverage and also wafer type. With an optimized Ag NPs, τ eff is enhanced from 4.4 μs to 10 μs for a p-type silicon wafer, and from 8.1 μs to 14 μs for an n-type silicon wafer. We attributed the enhancement in τ eff to the partial field effect passivation of the silicon surface by the surface plasmon resonance near-fields of Ag NPs after excitation. Our investigations demonstrate that an optimized Ag NPs on any silicon wafer with a native oxide layer can work as both a light trapping and a surface-passivating layer.

Abstract Nanostructured surfaces can be broadly defined as substrates in which the typical features have dimensions in the range 1–100 nm (although the upper limit of 100 nm may be relaxed to greater sizes in some cases, depending on the material and the specific property being investigated).
