A method of fabricating a solar cell includes forming an emitter layer of a second conductive type on a front surface and a back surface of a substrate of a first conductive type opposite to the second conductive type, forming an anti-reflection layer on the front surface of the substrate, partially removing the anti-reflection layer and the emitter layer to form an isolation groove dividing the emitter layer into a plurality of regions, removing a portion of the emitter layer formed on the back surface of the substrate, and forming a passivation layer covering the isolation groove and the back surface of the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a three-dimensional semiconductor device is provided along with a three-dimensional semiconductor device fabricated thereby. The method includes forming a heat conductive plug to channel heat away from devices on a substrate, while high temperature processes are performed on a stacked semiconductor layer. The ability to use high temperature processes on the stacked semiconductor layer without adversely effecting devices on the substrate allows the formation of a high quality single-crystalline stacked semiconductor layer. The high quality single-crystalline semiconductor layer can then be used to fabricate improved thin film transistors.
