USING AN ACTIVE SOLDER TO COUPLE A METALLIC ARTICLE TO A PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL

摘要

Methods include providing a metallic article that is configured to serve as an electrical conduit within a photovoltaic cell. The processes further include providing a semiconductor substrate that includes a coating at a top surface of the semiconductor substrate, where the coating is a dielectric anti-reflective coating, a transparent conductive oxide or an amorphous silicon. The metallic article is coupled to the top surface of the semiconductor substrate, including soldering a first surface of the metallic article to the top surface of the semiconductor substrate using an active solder.
