RISE: 21.5% Efficient Back Junction Silicon Solar Cell with Laser Technology as a Key Processing Tool
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We employ laser technology as a key processing tool for fabricating our novel RISE (rear interdigitated single evaporation) silicon solar cells. The contactless production sequence incorporates a self-aligning single evaporation step for metallising the interdigitated rear contacts. In this paper, we compare in detail the performance of two types of RISE solar cells with different contact formations to the base: (a) back surface field formation via aluminium doping produced by local laser-firing of the aluminium contact (Al-BSF) and (b) local diffusion of boron (B-BSF). The best solar cell with B-BSF has an AM 1.5 efficiency of 21.5 %. The efficiencies of RISE solar cells with Al-BSF are considerably lower due to 5-10 % lower short-circuit currents. We ascribe these photocurrent losses to a less-efficient BSF effect of the laser-fired contact compared to a boron-diffused BSF

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
