Abstract

Besides cheaper techniques of growing the starting silicon, the reduction of manufacturing costs of terrestrial solar cells needs new automated approaches for the preparation of the junction. The possibilities given by laser processing are considered for three different structures: diffused junctions, ion implanted and alloyed diodes prepared from layers of dopants just deposited on surface.
