Abstract: In this work, we report on a novel structure of Interdigitated Back-Contacted (IBC) solar cells on c-Si p-type substrates that combines laser processed homojunction base contacts and silicon heterojunction (SHJ) emitters. These hybrid devices which can lead to potential benefits in device processing and/or conversion efficiency. In the proposed fabrication process special attention has been paid to the compatibility of both involved technologies: silicon heterojunction and laser doping from dielectric films. In particular, we focus on the surfa...
