Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The passivation quality of an a-Si/SiO/SiN (aSON) stack deposited by conventional PECVD at <250°C with and without additional corona charging of SiN is presented. <2 fA/cm surface dark saturation current density and <1 cm/s effective surface recombination velocity were demonstrated on both planar and textured n-type Czochralski (CZ) substrates. It was shown that very good passivation can be achieved using <5 nm a-Si layers to provide low parasitic absorption. We also report effective minority carrier lifetimes >60 ms on 5000 ω-cm and 20.9 ms on 1.7 ω-cm mirror polished float zone (FZ) material passivated with aSON stacks. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
