Abstract:
Approaches for the metallization of solar cells and the resulting solar cells are described. In an example, a method of fabricating a solar cell involves forming a plurality of alternating N-type and P-type regions in or above a substrate. The method also involves forming a metal seed layer on the plurality of alternating N-type and P-type regions. The method also involves patterning at least a portion of the metal seed layer at regions in alignment with locations between the alternating N-type and P-type regions. The method also involves, subsequent to the patterning, etching to form trenches at the locations between the alternating N-type and P-type regions, isolating the alternating N-type and P-type regions from one another.

Claim (Index 12):
The solar cell of  claim 11 , wherein forming the metal seed layer comprises a metal layer comprising aluminum in an amount greater than approximately 97% and silicon in an amount approximately in the range of 1-2%.
