Since the c-Si surface of all Si solar cells has a high defect density, the external attachment of metals will not reduce the surface state and the transport of carriers at the contact is affected, and the applicable solution of this issue is passivation.

Solar cell passivation is a process used to reduce the recombination of charge carriers in a solar cell, which can significantly improve its efficiency. By passivating the surface of the solar cell, manufacturers can prevent these unwanted interactions and allow the charge carriers to move freely within the cell.

Chinese solar module manufacturer Longi has developed a heterojunction back contact (BC) solar cell using a laser-enhanced contact optimization process that reportedly has a total effective processing time of about one-third compared to that of mainstream technologies such as PERC and TOPCon.
“This cell can be used in all silicon-based PV application scenarios,” Chaowei Xue, Department Director at Longi Solar, told pv magazine, noting that the device is based on dense passivating contacts containing less hydrogen compared to common contacts used in BC cells, which he said reduces parasitic light absorption and improves passivation.
Patterning techniques arrange contacts on the shaded side of the silicon wafer, which offers benefits for light incidence as well. However, the patterning process complicates production and results in power loss. We employed lasers to streamline the fabrication of back-contact solar cells and enhance the power-conversion efficiency.
Laser patterning is considered the most economical method for fabricating back-contact solar cells; however, the highest PCE of fully laser-processed HBCs reported so far by the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre is only 22.5% 13.
At present, a definitive pathway for laser-patterned HBC solar cells with efficiencies beyond 26% is not available due to laser-beam-induced damage, which specifically causes Voc and fill factor loss by degrading the amorphous passivating contact or the c-Si interface 30, 31.
