Abstract :
Ink jet printing has been used to fabricate very thin solar cells (150 μm), and it offers important benefits both as a benign method for treating thin wafers as well as reducing gridline shadowing. A modified thick-film ink jet approach that is computer integrated provides improved potential for these benefits, and is especially well suited for large-scale automated manufacture
