This article reports on the integration of facile native oxide‐based passivation of crystalline silicon surfaces within the back amorphous‐crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cell concept. The new passivation scheme consists of 1‐nm thick native oxide and nominally 70‐nm thick PECVD silicon nitride. The low temperature passivation scheme provides uniform high quality surface passivation and low parasitic optical absorption. The interdigitated doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon layers were deposited on the rear side of the silicon wafer using the direct current saddle field PECVD technique. A systematic analysis of a series of back amorphous‐crystalline silicon heterojunction cells is carried out in order to examine the influence of the various cell parameters (interdigital gap, n ‐doped region width, ratio of widths of p , and n ‐doped regions) on cell performance. A photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 16.7 % is obtained for an untextured cell illuminated under AM 1.5 global spectrum (cell parameters: V OC of 641 mV, J SC of 33.7 mA‐cm  − 2 and fill factor of 77.3 % ).
