  • Electrode formation for heterojunction solar cells
    Patent number: 11145769
    Abstract: A method for forming a photovoltaic device includes forming a doped layer on a crystalline substrate, the doped layer having an opposite dopant conductivity as the substrate. A non-crystalline transparent conductive electrode (TCE) layer is formed on the doped layer at a temperature less than 150 degrees Celsius. The TCE layer is flash annealed to crystallize material of the TCE layer at a temperature above about 150 degrees Celsius for less than 10 seconds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 12, 2021
    Assignees: International Business Machines Corporation, KING ABDULAZIZ CITY FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Abdulrahman M. Albadri, Bahman Hekmatshoartabari, Devendra K. Sadana, Katherine L. Saenger
