    摘要: Various laser processing schemes are disclosed for producing various types of hetero-junction emitter and homo-junction emitter solar cells. The methods include base and emitter contact opening, selective doping, metal ablation, annealing to improve passivation, and selective emitter doping via laser heating of aluminum. Also, laser processing schemes are disclosed that are suitable for selective amorphous silicon ablation and selective doping for hetero-junction solar cells. Laser ablation techniques are disclosed that leave the underlying silicon substantially undamaged. These laser processing techniques may be applied to semiconductor substrates, including crystalline silicon substrates, and further including crystalline silicon substrates which are manufactured either through wire saw wafering methods or via epitaxial deposition processes, or other cleavage techniques such as ion implantation and heating, that are either planar or textured/three-dimensional. These techniques are highly suited to thin crystalline semiconductor, including thin crystalline silicon films.

    摘要: The present disclosure enables high-volume cost effective production of three-dimensional thin film solar cell (3-D TFSC) substrates. First, the present disclosure discloses pyramid-like unit cell structure 16 and 50 which enable epitaxial growth through their open pyramidal structure. The present disclosure than gives four 3-D TFSC embodiments 70, 82, 100, and 110 which may combined as necessary. A basic 3-D TFSC having a substrate, emitter, oxidation on the emitter, front and back metal contacts allows simple processing. Other embodiments disclose a selective emitter, selective backside metal contact, and front-side SiN ARC layers. Several processing methods including process flows 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 enable production of these 3-D TFSC. Further, the present disclosure enables higher throughput through the use of dual sided template 400. By processing the substrate in the template, the present disclosure increases yield and reduces processing steps.
