Abstract
The present rapidly expanding photovoltaic market is dominated by mono- and multicrystalline silicon solar cells based upon the standard, decades-old screen-printing approach [1, 2]. Despite significant progress in both performance and cost reduction, there are limitations in efficiency that arise from using the screen-printing process to apply the front contact [1, 3].
