Aluminum acetylacetonate-based AlO x thin films were introduced as a low-cost, high-quality passivation layers for crystalline silicon solar cells. Films were formed by a spin coating method on p-type silicon substrates at 450 ° C in ambient air, O 2 , or water vapor (H 2 O/O 2 ) for 15 or 120 min. XPS analysis confirms the AlO x formation and reveals a high intensity of interfacial SiO x at the AlO x /Si interface of processed wafers. Ambient H 2 O/O 2 was found to be more beneficial for the activation of introduced AlO x passivation films which offers high lifetime improvements with a low thermal budget. Carrier lifetime measurements provides that symmetrically coated wafers reach 119.3 μs and 248.3 μs after annealing in ambient H 2 O/O 2 for 15 min and 120 min, respectively.
