  • Fire through aluminum paste for SiNand better BSF formation
    Patent number: 9824790
    Abstract: Paste compositions, methods of making a paste composition, photovoltaic cells, and methods of making a photovoltaic cell contact are disclosed. The paste composition can include a conductive metal component such as aluminum, phosphate glass, phosphorus compounds such as alky! phosphate, and a vehicle. The contact can be formed on a passivation layer on a silicon wafer by applying the paste on the passivation layer and firing the paste. During firing, the metal component can fire through the passivation layer, thereby electrically contacting the silicon substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2017
    Assignee: Heraeus Precious Metals North America Conshohocken LLC
    Inventors: Dongshe Zhang, Aziz S. Shaikh, Srinivasan Sridharan, Himal Khatri, Hong Jiang, George E. Graddy, Jr.
