摘要:
The disclosed technology relates generally to photovoltaic cells, and more particularly to photovoltaic cells with plated metal contacts. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a photovoltaic cell with a metal contact pattern on a surface of a semiconductor substrate includes locally smoothening portions of the surface of the semiconductor substrate by using a first laser, at predetermined locations. The method additionally includes doping the surface of the semiconductor substrate to form an emitter region. The method additionally includes forming a dielectric layer on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and subsequently forming openings through the dielectric layer by using a second laser, thereby locally exposing the underlying surface of the semiconductor substrate at the predetermined locations. The method further includes forming metal contacts at exposed regions of the surface of the semiconductor substrate by plating.
摘要:
The invention relates to the manufacturing process of a solar cell (1) with back contact and passivated emitter, comprising a dielectric stack (10) of at least two layers consisting of at least a first dielectric layer (11) made of AlOx or SiOx in contact with a p-type silicon layer (3), and a second dielectric layer (13) deposited on the first dielectric layer (11). Besides, the method of manufacturing comprising a formation step of at least one partial opening (15) preferably by laser ablation into the dielectric stack (10), sparing at least partially the aforementioned first dielectric layer.
