  • METHOD OF FORMING AN ELECTRODE STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20180138333
    Abstract: In a method of forming an electrode structure for a photovoltaic cell, a transparent conductive layer is formed on a semiconductor layer of amorphous silicon material doped with dopants of a first conductive type. Then, a first metal pattern is formed on the transparent conductive layer by performing an ink jet process using metal nano ink. After forming a metal paste layer using a conductive paste through a screen printing process to cover the first metal pattern, the metal paste layer is fired to transform the metal paste layer into a second metal pattern such that the first and the second metal patterns are formed on the transparent metal layer to define a metal electrode.
