    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.
