Abstract

See full text

A method for producing contacts made of electrically conductive material on solar cells is provided. The method includes applying a dopant source to at least one face of a substrate; forming phosphosilicate glass by diffusing dopant into the substrate in a first thermal step; locally applying laser radiation to the substrate in regions in which the electrically conductive material is to be applied in order to form the electrically conductive contact; measuring the layer resistivity developed in the surface region of the substrate on the dopant source side; applying the electrically conductive material to the lasered areas; measuring the specific contact resistance between the lasered area and the electrically conductive material; determining a pulse energy density range of the laser beam from the measured values; applying laser radiation having a pulse energy density within the determined pulse energy density range.
