“…Today, many research groups are focusing on various techniques for producing high efficiency p-type c-Si solar cells, while paying attention to the issue of cost reduction commensurate with a mass-production process. With this aim, many techniques for manufacturing silicon solar cells have been developed, including selective emitter solar cells [1][2][3], buried contact solar cells [4], surface passivated solar cells [5][6][7][8], back-side contact solar cells [9,10], and heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cells [11][12][13][14].…”
