Solar cell market is led by silicon photovoltaics and holds around 92% of the total market.
Silicon solar cell fabrication process involves several critical steps which affects cell …

Plated silicon solar cells with nonoptimized antireflective coatings (ARCs) may feature
parasitic plating (PP), ie, unwanted metal depositions in ARC defects/pinholes. The present …

In this study, the impact of impurities incorporated into plated nickel seed layer on silicide
formation and the influence of annealing temperature on the fill-factor (FF) loss of solar cells …

Poor contact adhesion is one of the major concerns in the low cost Ni-Cu front contact
metallization for c-Si solar cells. It reduces the mechanical as well as electrical reliability of …

We investigate the optimization of laser ablation with a femtosecond laser for direct and
indirect removal of SiN x on alkaline textured c-Si. Our proposed resist-free indirect removal …

In this work we present SiO x films deposited in cost-effective laboratory scale three-
dimensional printed atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition setup. As SiO x films …

Exposing a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition-deposited silicon nitride (SiNx)
film to an inert gasoxidizing plasma ambient results in a significant reduction in background …

An ongoing effort in the photovoltaic (PV) industry is to reduce the major manufacturing cost
components of solar cells, the great majority of which are based on crystalline silicon (c-Si) …

This work explores the application and optimization of laser patterning of dielectrics on
textured crystalline silicon for improving the performance of industrial silicon solar cells …

The total power losses are analyzed based on two-layer electrode of light-induced
electroplating after screen printing. By the introduction of scale factor in the calculation …
