Abstract:
The present application provides effective and efficient structures and methods for the formation of solar cell base and emitter regions and passivation layers using laser processing. Laser absorbent passivation materials are formed on a solar cell substrate and patterned using laser ablation to form base and emitter regions.
Abstract:
Methods for improving the light trapping characteristics of crystalline silicon solar cells are provided. In one embodiment, the backside surface of a crystalline silicon solar cell substrate is textured with a pulsed laser beam. The textured backside surface of the crystalline silicon solar cell substrate is then annealed to remove damage from the laser texturization process.
