    Abstract: Fabrication methods and structures relating to backplanes for back contact solar cells that provide for solar cell substrate reinforcement and electrical interconnects are described. The method comprises depositing an interdigitated pattern of base electrodes and emitter electrodes on a backside surface of a semiconductor substrate, attaching a prepreg backplane to the interdigitated pattern of base electrodes and emitter electrodes, forming holes in the prepreg backplane which provide access to the first layer of electrically conductive metal, and depositing a second layer of electrically conductive metal on the backside surface of the prepreg backplane forming an electrical interconnect with the first layer of electrically conductive metal through the holes in the prepreg backplane.

    Abstract: Various laser processing schemes are disclosed for producing various types of hetero-junction and homo-junction 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.

    Abstract: A lamination stack for etching solar cells is provided. At least two solar cell wafers are attached to corresponding backplane sheets which are larger than the solar cell wafers. Release layers larger than the solar cells and smaller than the backplane sheets are positioned on the backplane sheets on the opposite side of the attached solar cell wafers. The backplane sheets are bonded together along the exposed peripheral boundary formed by the release layers.
