Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] Aspects of the present invention relate to solar cells and methods of manufacturing the same. More particularly, aspects of the present invention relate to a method of manufacturing a solar cell with an improved process and a solar cell manufactured by the method. Background technique
[0002] Solar cells generate electricity from the sun. Solar cells are environmentally friendly and provide a nearly unlimited source of energy. In addition, solar cells have a long life. According to the scheme of generating electricity using solar energy, examples of the solar cell include a semiconductor solar cell and a dye-sensitized solar cell.
[0003] In a semiconductor solar cell, a base portion and an emitter portion are formed in a semiconductor substrate having different conductivity types to form a p-n junction. The first electrode is electrically connected to the emitter portion, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the base portion. A...
