Abstract
We report on the attainment of high quality surface passivation of crystalline silicon using facile native oxide and plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition SiNx. Using systematic measurements of excess carrier density dependent minority carrier lifetime, it is observed that the inferred interface defect density decreases with increasing native oxide thickness while the interface charge density remains unchanged with thickness, which ranges from 0.2 Å to 10 Å. A surface recombination velocity of 8 cm/s is attained corresponding to a native oxide layer thickness of ∼10 Å. Similar chemically grown oxide layer followed by SiNx deposition is shown to yield comparable passivation, indicating practical viability of the passivation scheme.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
