  • Patent number: 8536447
    Abstract: A fabricating method of an electrode of a solar cell includes forming a first electrode layer on a photoelectric conversion layer, forming an antireflective layer on the photoelectric conversion layer to cover the first electrode layer, forming a second electrode layer on the antireflective layer, and performing a sintering process. A material of the first electrode layer does not react with the photoelectric conversion layer and the antireflective layer during the sintering process, while at least a material of the second electrode layer reacts with the antireflective layer during the sintering process. The sintering process is performed, such that the second electrode layer reacts with the antireflective layer, and the second electrode layer penetrates the antireflective layer to electrically connect the first electrode layer.

  • Publication number: 20100098840
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a back electrode of a silicon bulk solar cell is provided, which includes depositing a passivation layer on a back of a silicon substrate, and then coating a first metal paste on the passivation layer. Thereafter, a first sintering is performed at a high temperature, such that the first metal paste penetrates the passivation layer, joints to the silicon substrate, and diffuses into the back of the silicon substrate. Afterward, a second metal paste is coated on the back of the silicon substrate, and then a second sintering is performed at a low temperature to cure the second metal paste without penetrating the passivation layer, so as to finish the back electrode structure. Therefore, this method can reduce the manufacturing cost and simplify the manufacturing process.

  • Publication number: 20090308446
    Abstract: A backside electrode layer and a fabricating method thereof are applicable for fabricating a solar cell. The backside electrode layer includes a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. The first electrode layer is formed on a substrate and has a thickness smaller than 15 ?m. The second electrode layer having patterns is formed on the first electrode layer. The first and second electrode layers are fabricated by a cofiring process. As the thickness of the first electrode layer is decreased and the second electrode layer is not a full coverage layer, the material usage of each electrode layer is reduced and the fabrication cost thereof is leveled down. Besides, a thinner electrode layer may avoid warp after the cofiring process.
