Abstract:
Stencil printing is introduced as a technique to improve the quality ofthe front grid metallisation of crystalline silicon solar cells. An
evaluation of the most suited production method learned that electroformed
nickel stencils are best suited for solar cell application. An electroformed
nickel double-layer stencil was developed and the rheology of the silver
paste was adapted for stencil printing. Printing results using a single-layer
stencil showed that using a high-viscosity paste high and fine metal lines,
54 m width and 22 m height, can be made. 10 figs., 2 tabs., 11 refs.
