  • Process for metallizing a component
    Patent number: 10808330
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing one or more electrical contacts on a component, comprising (a) applying one or more coatings on the component, where at least one of the coatings is a coating of an electrically conductive material, (b) applying a self-passivating metal or semiconductor and/or a dielectric material on the coated component, (c) structuring the passivating coating by laser treatment or etching, (d) contacting the structured coating with an electroplating bath, (e) etching the regions not covered with the galvanically deposited metal.
    Type: Grant

  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY MICROSTRUCTURING AND DOPING SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATES
    Publication number: 20120058588
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for simultaneous microstructuring and doping of semiconductor substrates with boron, in which the semiconductor substrate is treated with a laser beam coupled into a liquid jet, the liquid jet comprising at least one boron compound. The method according to the invention is used in the field of solar cell technology and also in other fields of semiconductor technology in which a locally delimited boron doping is important.
