This solar cell configuration is known as the back-contact solar cell. Back-contact solar cells eliminate shadow losses and restrictions on metal-contact/busbar dimensions, since the positive and the negative contacts are located on the backplane. 1.2. Silicon based back contact solar cell
For back-contact solar cells, some of the regions need to be blocked from the diffusion process. These regions might include the base region and the compensated region. This process of masking and patterning of the emitter and the base regions, makes the fabrication process more complex compared to conventional silicon solar cell.
Interdigitated back-contact (IBC) is a solar cell in which the entire emitter is located at the rear of the cell. IBC solar cells are also known as back junction or point contact solar cells. Historically, the IBC solar cell was first developed at Stanford University for concentrating solar photovoltaic application .
Performances of the back-junction back-contact solar cells Because both the p- and n-bus bars of the BJBC silicon solar cells are placed on the back sides, the conventional measurement method (including the test tool) is infeasible.

Similar to the multijunction solar cell concept, adding and combining materials with proper band gaps can help improve the silicon back-contact solar cell efficiency beyond the intrinsic limit of the silicon material. The concept is depicted in Fig. 19. Fig. 19.
What is solar module IBC technology?
The IBC (Interdigited Back Contact) cell is a kind of back junction with positive and negative metal electrodes arranged in the shape of a forked finger on the backlit surface of the cell. The structure of the rear contact solar cell, its P-N junction is located in the back of the cell, the current belongs to the two-dimensional transmission model.

All back contact solar cells
The highest silicon wafer-based solar cell power conversion efficiencies reported to date have been achieved with the interdigitated back contact (IBC) architecture. IBC solar cells require interdigitated (or striped) doping on the rear surface and only have contacts on the rear. This doping can be achieved by masked diffusion, masked ion ...

A search for new back contacts for CdTe solar cells
Commercial thin-film CdTe solar cells use Cu-doped ZnTe (ZnTe:Cu) as the hole-selective back contact. However, ZnTe:Cu fails to passivate the back interface or form desired electron reflection to enhance performance (3, 10).Other Cu-containing materials that have been considered as back contacts include Cu x Te (), Cu x S (), HgTe:Cu, CuI, CuSCN, …
