DURABLE SILVER BASED TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE COATINGS FOR SOLAR CELLS

摘要

A method of creating a solar cell package is disclosed. A solar cell is obtained having an active surface. A coating is applied to the active surface of the solar cell, wherein the coating comprises a four-layer structure. A first Nickel Chromium Nitride layer is applied with a thickness between 5-15 Angstroms inclusive. A Silver layer is applied to the first Nickel Chromium Nitride layer, wherein the Silver layer comprises at least 99.999% Silver with a thickness between 40-100 Angstroms inclusive. A second Nickel Chromium Nitride layer is applied to the Silver layer, wherein the second Nickel Chromium Nitride layer comprises a thickness between 5-15 Angstroms inclusive. A Silicon Nitride layer is applied to the second Nickel Chromium Nitride layer.
