Tri-crystalline silicon wafers have three different orientations and three-grain boundaries. In this paper, tri-crystalline silicon (tri-Si) wafers have been used for the fabrication of buried contact solar cells. The optical and micro-structural properties of these cells after texturing in KOH solution have been investigated and compared with those of cast mult- crystalline silicon (multi-Si) wafers. We employed a cost effective fabrication process and achieved buried contact solar cell (BCSC) energy conversion efficiencies up to $15\%$ whereas the cast multi-Si wafer has efficiency around $14\%$.

To achieve a high aspect ration of metal contact, buried contact solar cell scribe the silicon surface using laser. The Q-switched NdLYAG laser which has 1.064$\mu\textrm{m}$ wavelength use for silicon scribing with 25~40$\mu\textrm{m}$ width and 20~200$\mu\textrm{m}$ depth capabilities. The 2~3% shading losses are very low campared to the screen printing solar cell. In this paper, we investigate the silicon scribing theory and pratice, scribing system for BCSC processing.

This paper describes an efficiency improvement of buried contact solar cell (BSCS) with a structure of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$/Ag/Cu/Ni grid/n$^{+}$ emitter/p-type Si base/p$^{+}$/Al. Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed on a double layer antireflection (DLAR) coating of MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$. We investigated CeO$_2$ films as an AR layer because they have a proper refractive index of 2.46 and demonstrate the same lattice constant as Si substrate. An optimized DLAR coating shewed a reflectance as low as 2.04 % in the wavelengths ranged from 0.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. BCSC cell efficiency was improved from 16.2 % without any AR coating to 19.9 % by employing DLAR coatings. Further details on MgF$_2$/CeO$_2$ DLAR coatings on the BCSC cells are presented in this paper.per.

The metallization is the key to determining cell costs, call performance, and cell and system reliabiltiy. The Burled Contact Solar Cell (BCSC) was specifical1y desinged to be compatible tilth low cost, mass production techniques and avoid the conventional metallization problem. By using electroless plating trchniqeu, we performed this metallization inexpensively and reliabley, This paper presents the details of the optimization procedure of metallization schemes on laser grooved cell surface Commercially available Ni ,Cu, and Ag plating solutions were applied for the cell metallization. The application of those solutions on the buried contact front metalization has resulted in an cell efficiency of 18.5% The cell parameters are an open circuit voltage of 651 mV, short circuit current density of 38.6 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and fill factor of 73.5%.

Crystlline silicon solar cells markets are increasing at rapid pace. now, crystlline silicon solar cells markets screen-printing solar cell is occupying. screen-printing solar cells manufacturing process are very quick, there is a strong point which is a low cost. but silicon and metal contact, uses Ag & Al pates. because of, high contact resistance, high series resistance and sintering inside process the electric conductivity decreases with 1/3. and In pastes ingredients uses Ag where $80{\sim}90%$ is metal of high cost. because of low cost solar cells descriptions is difficult. therefore BCSC(Buried Contact Solar Cell) is developed. and uses light-induced plating, ln-line galvanization developed equipments. Ni/Cu matel contact solar cells researches. in Germany Fraunhofer ISE. In order to manufacture high-efficiency solar cells, metal selections are important. metal materials get in metal resistance does small, to be electric conductivity does highly. efficiency must raise an increase with rise of the curve factor where the contact resistance of the silicon substrate and is caused by few with decrement of series resistance. Ni metal materials the price is cheap, Ti comes similar resistance. Cu and Ag has the electric conductivity which is similar. and Cu price is cheap. In this paper, Ni/Cu/Ag metal contact cell with screen printing manufactured, silicon metal contact comparison and analysis.

태양전지의 전극형성은 전지의 가격과 성능 그리고 시스댐의 신뢰성을 결정하는데 매우 중요한 변수이다. 기폰의 스크련 프린팅 기술은 전면전극에 냐쁜 영향을 미치는 여러가지 제약들을 가지고 었다. 전극함몰형 태양전지는 기존의 전극에서 발생하는 문제점을 극복하고 저가격 대량생산을 위해서 고안된 것이다. 본 논문에서는 무전해 도금방법을 사용하여 함몰형 전지의 전극을 형성하는 공정을 최적화함으로써 값싸고 재현성있게 전지를 제조할 수 있었다. 무전해 도금용액으로는 상엽적으로 사용되는 니켈, 구리, 은 용액을 사용하었으며, 전지의 효울 을 최고 18.8 %까지 얻었다. 이때 전지의 개방전압은 651 mV, 단락전류밀도는 37.1 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 충실도는 77.8 % 었으며 배치에서 90 % 이상의 전지가 18 % 이상의 효율을 나타내었다.

고효율 태양전지를 위한 결정질 태양전지의 구조 중 UNSW에서 개발한 BCSC(buried contact solar cell)가 있는데, 이는 전면 전극을 laser 처리 후 무전해 니켈 도금으로 형성한 것이다. 이같은 전면 전극을 형성하기 위해서는 무전해 nickel 도금 후 열처리가 필수적이다. 우리는 이 공정을 확립하기 위해 결정질 wafer에 후면을 PECVD로 SiNx막을 형성하여 $30\Omega/\square$로 도핑한 후 후면을 불산으로 제거한 상태에서 양면을 니켈 무전해 도금으로 전극을 형성하여 $300^{\circ}C,\;350^{\circ}C,\;400^{\circ}C$에서 각각 3,6,9분간 진행하였다. 그 결과 $400^{\circ}C$에서 3분간 열처리된 sample이 상대적으로 가장 명확한 IV curve를 형성하였다. 이 실험의 결과는 PN 접합 구조에서 전극을 nickel로 사용할 때 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.
