Abstract

See full text

An improved process for producing a more uniform deposition of the nickel on the surface of a silicon solar cell comprising the steps of immersing the silicon solar cell into an activator solution comprising gold and a fluoride salt, and subsequently immersing the solar cell into an electroless nickel plating solution. The process provides an improved deposition of nickel on the silicon solar cell, and produces a more uniform deposition of nickel as compared to the prior art. Subsequent to the nickel deposition step, the solar cell may be sintered to produce a nickel silicide layer.
