Fabrication of bifacial poly-Si solar cells with copper-plating metallization

Carrier-selective passivating contacts (CSPC) have been proven to be effective in suppressing recombination losses at metal-silicon interface in high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells. The poly-Si-based CSPCs consisting of SiOX/poly-Si stacks are used in this thesis due to their compatibility with high thermal budgets. CSPCs with thin...
