The open-circuit voltage of MIS solar cells realized on n-type silicon has been investigated. Chemically formed and evaporated SiOx layers have been used for the insulating film. The latter has given the best results on polished samples, since Voc reached 0.55V. The influence of different parameters like n or ΦBn are discussed.
