Flash lamp annealing (FLA) of spray coated silicon nanoparticles (Si NP) is considered as a low cost alternative for thin film solar cell fabrication. In this work the effect of FLA on Si NP films produced with varying number of spray cycles is investigated by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electrical characterisation. The Si NPs are dispersed in ethanol or tetrahydrofuran + di-N-methylpyrrole-silane [H2Si(NMP)2], the latter being a silicon precursor. The organosilicon acts as glue between the Si NPs in order to achieve more compact spray coated films. The suspensions are sprayed onto a preheated substrate (molybdenum sheets and hydrogen passivated doped silicon wafers). Then the samples are treated by FLA (energy: 6,37 J/cm2; pulse time: 900 µs; flash lamp system provided by Dresden Thin Film Technology) varying the number of flashes. The whole procedure takes place in a glove box under nitrogen atmosphere to prevent oxidation. A sputtered Ni-Cr alloy reveals ohmic contact behaviour on the FLA treated spray coated Si NP films. It turns out, that adding a silicon precursor to the Si NP suspension improves the effect of FLA on spray coated films. The Si NPs are more contiguous within the films and the amount of fused Si NPs is larger than for films sprayed from pure Si NP suspensions.
