A non-noble front metallization process using Mo/Sn screen printed pastes

;
This paper describes a front metallization process using an inexpensive Mo/Sn screen printed paste. The paste is first fired in air to burn off the organic vehicle, then fired in a reducing atmosphere to create ohmic contact between the silicon and Mo/Sn powder. A conductive AR coating (ITO) is used to reduce the inherent series resistance of the system. Cells have been produced with efficiency identical to that of silver paste controls.
