Effective surface treatments suppress possible recombination losses and confine
photogenerated electrons and holes within the bulk of the silicon wafer, thus maximizing …

In this study, we report on the feasibility of formation of nickel/tin solder pads and bus bars
directly electroplated onto the aluminum screen-printed rear metallization layer of silicon …

Low cost concept based on the porous silicon technology is shown to be well suitable for
integrating monolithically the photonic devices on a standard silicon wafers by using …

In this work we report the application of the selective wet processing technique based on
dynamic liquid meniscus for copper pillar bumps (CPB) plating. The industrial plating of …

In this work we demonstrate a new selective metallization technique to perform localized
plating on the screen-printed Al contact using the innovative approach based on Dynamic …

This Ph. D. thesis is focused on the development and optimization of front and rear side
metallization of industrial silicon solar cells. The commonly adopted screenprinted silver …
