    摘要: A simplified manufacturing process and the resultant bifacial solar cell (BSC) are provided, the simplified manufacturing process reducing manufacturing costs. The BSC includes an active region located on the front surface of the substrate, formed for example by a phosphorous diffusion step. After removing the PSG, assuming phosphorous diffusion, and isolating the front junction, dielectric layers are deposited on the front and back surfaces. Contact grids are formed, for example by screen printing. Prior to depositing the back surface dielectric, a metal grid may be applied to the back surface, the back surface contact grid registered to, and alloyed to, the metal grid during contact firing.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally contemplate methods for treating a semiconductor solar cell substrate to reduce the number of undesirable material defects or interface state traps on the surface or within the substrate. These defects can adversely affect the efficiency of the solar cell because electron-hole pairs tend to recombine with the defects and are essentially lost without generating any useful electrical current. In one aspect, a method of forming a solar cell on a semiconductor substrate is provided, comprising doping a front surface of the substrate, applying a passivating layer to the front surface and/or a back surface of the substrate, and annealing the substrate to reduce the interface state trap density (Dit).

    摘要: In a thin-film photovoltaic (TF PV) module, stacked cells provide efficient conversion of solar energy without being afflicted by conventional problems such as current matching between layers. According to one aspect, the module includes separate terminals for the respective layers in the stack, thus allowing the current in each layer to be different without sacrificing efficiencies gained due to their different bandgaps. According to another aspect of the invention, a processing method according to the invention includes forming interconnects for each layer using etch and deposition processing, including forming separate interconnects for each respective layer, which interconnects can be coupled to respective sets of terminals.

    摘要: Heat is applied to a conductive structure that includes one or more vias, and the temperature at or near the point of heat application is measured. The measured temperature indicates the integrity or the defectiveness of various features (e.g. vias and/or traces) in the conductive structure, near the point of heat application. Specifically, a higher temperature measurement (as compared to a measurement in a reference structure) indicates a reduced heat transfer from the point of heat application, and therefore indicates a defect. The reference structure can be in the same die as the conductive structure (e.g. to provide a baseline) or outside the die but in the same wafer (e.g. in a test structure) or outside the wafer (e.g. in a reference wafer), depending on the embodiment.
