The document outlines the objective, operation, fabrication process, and testing methods for developing an improved front contact paste for photovoltaic cells. The objective is to minimize parasitic resistance and boost efficiency by manipulating inorganic additives. The fabrication process involves formulating the paste, printing it on the front of silicon wafers, then drying and firing the cells. Various testing methods are used to analyze short circuit current, open circuit voltage, fill factor, recombination factors, bulk resistance, sheet resistance, contact resistance, and grid resistance.

Learning how to properly communicate in any scenario is monumental for anyone, most especially a nurse. Nurses are often overworked, without breaks or food, and in stressful life-or-death situations. Nurses must also communicate not only with the patients, but their families too. Above all else, nurses must communicate with the multiple disciplines within the medical field; it is important to learn how and to live it.

Objective
• Invent the next industry standard front contact paste
by manipulating inorganic additives to improve
overall performance
– Minimize parasitic resistance
– Boost fill factor and efficiency
5. 5
Energy Bands
• Fermi Energy
– Difference in electron energy between
the conduction and valance bands
– 1.12 eV at 300K
• Incident light
– Wavelength is inversely proportional
to photo energy
– Wafer pyramid texture increases
changes of successful refraction
– If Eph > Ef with a proper incident
angel then an electron-hole pair is
created
– Charge carriers facilitate conduction
• Recombination
– Excited electron falls back down to
valence band
6. 6
P-N Junction
• N-type doped silicon
– Doped with phosphorous (5 valence electrons)
compare to silicon with 4
– Excess free electrons
• P-type doped silicon
– Doped with boron (3 valence electrons)
compare to silicon with 4
– Excess electron holes
• The P-N junction creates a voltage
– Excess electrons in n-type silicon diffuse to the
p-type, leaving behind the exposed positive ion
cores.
– Excess holes of the p-type silicon diffuse to the
n-type, leaving behind exposed negatively
charged ions
– Creates an electric field.
8. 8
Formulating
• Solvents, Vehicle, and Dispersants
–Required for printability
–Provide green strength (Pre-firing cohesive/adhesive strength)
–Burned off after firing, not present in completed cell
• Glass Frits
–Come in a variety of compositions
Examples: PbO-TeO2, PbO-Al2O3-SiOX, Bi2O3-B2O3
–Etch through antireflective coating during firing process
–Precipitates silver to the surface of the silicon
• Metallic & Oxide Additives
–Reduce glass flow temperature
–Minimize glass bleeding
–Reduce electron contact recombination
–Improve silver contact formation
• Silver
–Bulk conductor and the vast majority of the paste
• Nano-Silver
–Lowers sintering temperature of glass
–Broadens firing window
