ABSTRACT:
A method is provided of producing a solar cell having a semiconductor layer within which, in a direction of thickness, a p-n barrier layer is present, and which can be irradiated with light from at least one side. The cell has contacts for electrical contact of the semiconductor layer on respective sides of the p-n barrier layer. The semiconductor layer is produced by reducing the size of semiconductor material to powder, heating the powder, and sintering the heated powder in a sintering press to form the semiconductor layer.
