ABSTRACT:
A method of forming an electrical contact on the surface of a photovoltaic cell in which particles of electrically conductive material are formed at a temperature in excess of the alloying temperature of the material and silicon, and thereafter spraying, e.g., flame spraying, arc spraying, or plasma spraying, the particles to one or both major surfaces of the cell so that the particles alloy with the silicon and adhere to the surface of the cell.
