The major objective of this program is to define and verify a process sequence for the fabrication of solar cell modules from dendritic web silicon. Another objective is the development of key process steps. The process sequence and the individual steps must be amenable to automation and low cost manufacturing methods so that the target selling price of $0.70/watt peak (1980$ in 1986) can be achieved. Two process specifications supplied by other contractors have been tested. The Al Silk Screening Process by Spectrolab resulted in cells comparable to those from sputtered Al. The electroless plating of contacts specification supplied by Motorola could be used only with extensive modification. Several experiments suggest that there is some degradation of the front junction during the A1 BSF formation. A SAMICS cost analysis of this process yielded a selling price of $0.75/watt peak in 1980$.
