  • Publication number: 20240038923
    Abstract: A method for improving alignment between a selective emitters and metal printing, including: providing silicon wafer including first edge and midline parallel to the first edge; texturing and diffusing surface of the silicon wafer; and illuminating the surface of the silicon wafer by laser spots to form the SE. Multiple laser spots are arranged between the first edge and the midline to form spot rows, extension directions of the spot rows are parallel to the first edge, M spot rows are arranged and M is a positive integer and M>1. The M spot rows include N sub-spot regions, N is a positive integer and 1<N?M, the sub-spot regions include at least one spot row, and areas of the laser spots in each sub-spot region are equal. The areas of the laser spots in different sub-spot regions from the midline pointing to the first edge gradually increases.
