Levy and Carlson on "carrier selective contacts"

David Levy and Dave Carlson from Natcore will be presenting a new back-contact back-junction (BCBJ) cell metallization at the 2017 IEEE-PVSC Conference in Washington (June 25-30). Instead of using deposited or printed metals, the cell contacts consist of aluminum foil laminates: very cheap, roll to roll processed structures made of aluminum foil bonded to insulating polymer dielectrics like PET (polyethylene terephthalate). We will discuss the fabrication of these cells and our latest results—including a novel approach to carrier selective contacts yielding our best cell efficiency to date. In addition to cell fabrication advantages, we will get into benefits in module construction, where a simplified cell-cell connection is possible relative to existing technologies.
