  • Method of manufacturing photovoltaic cells, photovoltaic cells produced thereby and uses thereof
    Patent number: 8796060
    Abstract: Novel methods of producing photovoltaic cells are provided herein, as well as photovoltaic cells produced thereby, and uses thereof. In some embodiments, a method as described herein comprises doping a substrate so as to form a p+layer on one side and an n+layer on an another side, removing at least a portion of the n+layer, and then forming a second n+layer, such that a concentration of the n-dopant in the second n+layer is variable throughout a surface of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 17, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2014
    Assignee: Solar Wind Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Marat Zaks, Galina Kolomoets, Andrey Sitnikov, Oleg Solodukha

  • Method of manufacturing photovoltaic cells, photovoltaic cells produced thereby and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20110114147
    Abstract: Novel methods of producing photovoltaic cells are provided herein, as well as photovoltaic cells produced thereby, and uses thereof. In some embodiments, a method as described herein comprises doping a substrate so as to form a p+ layer on one side and an n+ layer on an another side, applying an antireflective coating on the p+ layer, removing at least a portion of the n+ layer, and then forming a second n+ layer, such that a concentration of the n-dopant in the second n+ layer is variable throughout a surface of the substrate.
