Suns- results of the self-aligned emitter contacting scheme for two different cells on the same sample. The values in the temperature column refer to the measured parameters before metallization (“virgin”), the freshly fabricated emitter contacts (“no bake”), and to measurements performed after successive furnace anneals (20 minutes each) in air at the corresponding temperature.
