Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a solar cell, the method comprising the steps of: providing a substrate having a front side, a back side and a doped region adjacent to the front side; forming a lower conductor layer on the front side of the substrate; firing the lower conductor layer at a first temperature such that the lower conductor layer is formed with a first portion embedded into the doped region and a second portion other than the first portion; forming an anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer on the front side of the substrate and the second portion of the lower conductor layer, wherein the ARC layer covers the lower conductor layer such that the second portion of the lower conductor layer is disposed in the ARC layer; forming an upper conductor layer, which corresponds to the lower conductor layer, on the ARC layer; and firing the upper conductor layer at a second temperature such that the upper conductor layer is formed with a first portion embedded into the ARC layer and a second portion other than the first portion of the upper conductor layer, wherein the second portion of the upper conductor layer is exposed out of the ARC layer, and the upper conductor layer is electrically connected to the lower conductor layer.
