The interdigitated back contacted silicon hetero-junction (IBC-SHJ) solar cell is the ultimate Si wafer-based high efficiency approach with record power conversion efficiencies of 26.6 % [1]. It combines the advantages of IBC cells (i. e. high jsc and FF by small optical and resistive losses, respectively) and SHJ cells (i. e. high Voc by excellent interface passivation). Contact preparation of such solar cells with lab-based photolithographic processes yields high cell efficiencies [2], but is complex and costly and therefore not applicable in industrial fabrication. Hence it is the main objective of our work to develop simplified and damage-free, industrially compatible fabrication processes, while maintaining exceptional cell properties. Here we demonstrate the successful development of a photolithography-free patterning technique using shadow masks and compare the challenges and advantages with screen printing and laser ablation. First solar cell results are presented and discussed with respect to further improvement of the passivation and minimisation of the contact resistance.
