Abstract

See full text

A solar cell having a large region where reverse breakdown can occur is disclosed. Reverse breakdown tends to occur near areas where heavily doped n-type regions abut heavily doped p-type regions. Thus, by increasing the region where such a heavily doped p/n junction exists may improve the reverse breakdown characteristics of the solar cell. In addition, a method of making such solar cell is disclosed, where this heavily doped p/n junction is fabricated along at least a portion of the perimeter of the solar cell.
