Besides, in terms of screen-printed crystalline silicon solar cells, the last step of co-firing causes the metal gate lines on the front surface to form good ohmic contact coupled with the silicon body. For the overly shallow junction depth, the metal will diffuse into the n-type area of the cell, thereby reducing the quality of the PN junction.
