Abstract

A process for the formation of at least one aluminum p-doped surface region of an n-type semiconductor substrate comprising the steps:(1) providing an n-type semiconductor substrate,(2) applying and drying an aluminum paste on at least one surface area of the n-type semiconductor substrate,(3) firing the dried aluminum paste, and(4) removing the fired aluminum paste with water,wherein the aluminum paste employed in step (2) includes particulate aluminum, an organic vehicle and 3 to 20 wt. % of glass frit, based on total aluminum paste composition.
