Method of fabricating solar cells

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5695547
A solar cell fabrication procedure is described in which a hydrogen ion passivation step is used to form, inter alia, an altered silicon substrate surface layer to which immersion plated nickel will not readily adhere. The altered surface layer is formed by shadow casting an ion beam in a pattern corresponding to the desired front surface interelectrode configuration.
