摘要： The invention relates to a multi-junction solar cell comprising at least two sub-cells based on silicon and at least one material other than silicon, wherein a first sub-cell is designed to use photons in a spectral region of a shorter wavelength than a spectral region of a longer wavelength of a second sub-cell, the second sub-cell being based on silicon and the first sub-cell being based on a material which has a larger band gap than silicon, wherein the first sub-cell and the second sub-cell are designed as a monolithic unit consisting of a layer stack, and wherein the first sub-cell and the second sub-cell are electrically connected to one another in series by means of a tunnel diode, such that the tandem solar cell is equipped with two terminals, wherein the tunnel diode has a tunnel diode n layer and a tunnel diode p layer. The problem addressed is that of proposing a multi-junction solar cell of simple construction. The problem is solved by multi-junction solar cells in which the tunnel diode n layer and/or the tunnel diode p layer is/are silicon-based layer(s).

摘要： A solar cell can include a conductive foil having a first portion with a first yield strength coupled to a semiconductor region of the solar cell. The solar cell can be interconnected with another solar cell via an interconnect structure that includes a second portion of the conductive foil, with the interconnect structure having a second yield strength greater than the first yield strength.

摘要： A wire bonding system attaches wires to a solar cell wafer. The wire bonding system includes a feed tube through which a wire is drawn. Rollers contact the wire through openings in the feed tube to facilitate movement of the wire. The wire bonding system includes a soldering heater tip and a wire cutter. The solar cell wafer is placed on a platform, which moves the solar cell wafer. The system has multiple lanes for attaching multiple wires to the solar cell wafer at the same time in parallel operations.

摘要： Approaches for fabricating one-dimensional metallization for solar cells, and the resulting solar cells, are described. In an example, a solar cell includes a substrate having a back surface and an opposing light-receiving surface. A plurality of alternating N-type and P-type semiconductor regions is disposed in or above the back surface of the substrate and parallel along a first direction to form a one-dimensional layout of emitter regions for the solar cell. A conductive contact structure is disposed on the plurality of alternating N-type and P-type semiconductor regions. The conductive contact structure includes a plurality of metal lines corresponding to the plurality of alternating N-type and P-type semiconductor regions. The plurality of metal lines is parallel along the first direction to form a one-dimensional layout of a metallization layer for the solar cell.
