  • Pseudo-Schottky photovoltaic cell by wet-printing a conductive paint
    Publication number: 20140004653
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a functional low cost photovoltaic (PV) cell (e.g., solar cell) and a method for the large scale production of the device. The manufacturing method to produce a pseudo-Schottky photovoltaic (PSPV) cell, includes depositing a metal contact on a reverse side of the wafer; superposing a mask on an obverse side of the wafer; disposing a conductive paint to the obverse side of the wafer; removing the mask on the obverse side of the wafer; and attaching electrical conduction leads between the paint and the metal contact.
