Abstract: Solar cell (11; 21; 31) having a dielectric coating arranged on a back side of the solar cell (11; 21; 31) which is at least partly covered by at least one planar contact (12; 22; 32), a boundary line (14; 24; 34) of the at least one planar contact (12; 22; 32) having at least one recess (16a, 16b; 26a, 26b, 26c), and method for producing same.
Abstract: In a method for producing a solar cell, a layer stack of dielectric layers is applied to a back of a solar cell substrate and the layer stack is heated and is held at temperatures of at least 700° C. during a time period of at least 5 minutes. The novel solar cell has a layer stack of dielectric layers on its back. At least one of the dielectric layers of the layer stack is densified so that its resistivity to firing-through of pastes with glass components is enhanced.
