Abstract
The authors present the design of silicon IBC cells and the fabrication technology which gives a 21% efficiency under one sun AM 1.5 (1000 W/m/sup 2/), 25.6% at 100X and 24.4% at 300X. Interdigitated back contact and point-contact silicon solar cells were fabricated and their efficiencies are compared. It is demonstrated that the technological process is able to maintain a high carrier lifetime in the device (780 mu sec).
