Claim 17:
18. A method of manufacturing a thermo-photovoltaic cell according to claim 1, comprising the following steps:
a) providing a semiconductor plate, the semiconductor plate having a front face and a back face and comprising at least one pn junction or one np junction or one heterojunction,
b) processing the front face, wherein the processing of the front face comprises the following steps:
depositing on the front face a plurality of front pro-reflection strips, each front pro-reflection strip comprising at least one dielectric layer,
depositing on the front face a plurality of front busbar-base strips, each front busbar-base strip being electrically conductive, and each front busbar-base strip being deposited on a corresponding front pro-reflection strip,
depositing a plurality of front contact-finger strips on the front face, intersecting a plurality of front busbar-base strips and making electrical contact with said front busbar-base strips and with the semiconductor plate, the plurality of front contact-finger strips being made of electrically conductive material,
placing a plurality of electrically conductive wires each electrically conductive wire being placed on a corresponding front busbar-base strip,

c) processing the back face, wherein the processing of the back face comprises the following steps:
depositing an electrically conductive layer at said back face.
