Abstract
Abstract Photonic crystal (PhC) light trapping is predicted to enhance absorption beyond the Lambertian limit, potentially increasing silicon solar cell efficiencies above 28%. However, integrating PhC structures into high‐efficiency devices at scale remains challenging. PhC textures are integrated into back‐contacted silicon solar cells by combining femtosecond laser ablation of alumina masks with dry etching. Excellent surface passivation is maintained using an isotropic defect‐removal process based on ammonia peroxide mixture (APM). This preserves the front‐side texture and keeps optical reflection low. The PhC‐patterned cells deliver minority carrier lifetimes and carrier collection efficiencies comparable to state‐of‐the‐art high efficiency devices. A certified efficiency of 23.1% is achieved. The quantum efficiency of the thick (190–290 µm) solar cells, however, shows no clear wave‐optical resonances under standard conditions, despite the high structural and electronic quality. Scalability is improved by applying direct laser writing with Gaussian and Bessel beams and developing a periodically anchored mask design. This enables uniform, large‐area patterning. These advancements mark a key step toward the practical implementation of PhC‐enhanced silicon photovoltaics.

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 it
