    Abstract: Passivated contact structures and fabrication methods for back contact back junction solar cells are provided. According to one example embodiment, a back contact back junction photovoltaic solar cell is described that has a semiconductor light absorbing layer having a front side and a backside having base regions and emitter regions. A passivating dielectric insulating layer is positioned on the base regions. A first level base and emitter metallization contacts the emitter regions and passivating dielectric insulating layer on the base regions. An electrically insulating backplane is positioned on the first level base and emitter metallization. A second level metallization contacts the first level base and emitter metallization through conductive vias in the electrically insulating backplane.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic solar cell is described that, according to one example embodiment, includes a semiconductor light absorbing layer and a dielectric stack on at least one of a front side of the light absorbing layer or a back side of the light absorbing layer. The dielectric stack includes a tunneling dielectric layer being sufficiently thin for charge carriers to tunnel across, and an overlaying dielectric layer being a different material than the overlaying dielectric. The solar cell also includes an electrically conductive contact physically contacting the overlaying dielectric. The electrically conductive contact and the overlaying dielectric together have either a work function suitable for selective collection of electrons that closely matches a conduction band of the light absorbing layer, or a work function suitable for selective collection of holes that closely matches a valence band of the light absorbing layer.

    Abstract: Fabrication methods and structures are provided for the formation of monolithically isled back contact back junction solar cells. In one embodiment, base and emitter contact metallization is formed on the backside of a back contact back junction solar cell substrate. A trench stop layer is formed on the backside of a back contact back junction solar cell substrate and is electrically isolated from the base and emitter contact metallization. The trench stop layer has a pattern for forming a plurality semiconductor regions. An electrically insulating layer is formed on the base and emitter contact metallization and the trench stop layer. A trench isolation pattern is formed through the back contact back junction solar cell substrate to the trench stop layer which partitions the semiconductor layer into a plurality of solar cell semiconductor regions on the electrically insulating layer.
