To date, the deposition of metalic contacts in third-generation cells has been performed using thermal evaporation techniques. However, this type of technology introduces a substantial cost burden in the manufacturing chain. Therefore, to enable commercial-scale production of this type of device, it is necessary to evaluate the introduction of alternative metallization techniques, readily scalable and capable of reducing the inherent fabrication costs. One suchtechniques is screen-printing metallization. The Solar Cell Laboratory of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables has been researching this type of metallization since 2015, initially performing experiments with various commercial pastes, such as silver and aluminum…
