Abstract

Screen printing is the dominant technique for contact formation of industrial high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells. Accurately quantify the metallization induced recombination losses of the metal contacts (J0c) remain a hot topic. We present a comprehensive analysis of the J0c at the metal-Si interface as a function of the finger width and firing temperature. The dimension-dependent J0c properties are investigated and possible explanations are discussed. By extracting J0c directly from finished solar cells, it opens up the opportunity to quantify the contact recombination property in a fast and efficient manner, since no specially prepared midstream structures will be required for the analysis.
