Laser processing has become a key technology for the industrial production of crystalline silicon solar cells reaching higher conversion efficiencies. Enhancements of the current solar cell tech-nology are achieved by using advanced ap-proaches like laser grooved front contacts or selective emitter structures.
A conventional cutting process is laser scribing, followed by a mechanical breaking process. This laser scribing method requires a deep scribing of approx. 30%-50% of the wafer’s thickness and causes a significant damaging of the solar cell edge in combination with microcracks. Both have a negative effect to the performance of the cell.
In addition, several laser-processing techniques are currently being investigated for the production of new types of high performance silicon solar cells. There have also been research efforts on utilizing laser melting, laser annealing and laser texturing in the fabrication of solar cells.
Independent of the solar cell concept, lasers have always played a role in the de-velopment of new production processes. In some cases, there is a strong competitive situation with one or two alternative technol-ogies, but in many cases no other tool can compete with the speed and precision of the laser.
The laser cut edge causes a high recombination of the charge carriers, which negatively affects the pseudo fill factor as well as open-circuit voltage of the cell. The current work introduces two different approaches for passivating the laser separated PERC solar cells.
