摘要
A process using laser-ablated pits to texture the front surface of monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon solar cells is described Optical and electrical characterization demonstrates that the technique performs as well as upright random pyramid texturing and causes no laser-induced defects or laser shunting. Double-sided buried contact solar cells fabricated with laser texture performed as well as those fabricated with upright random pyramid textures on 1 Omega cm, p type float-zoned wafers.
