High-efficiency silicon solar cells

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of high open-circuit voltage due to careful attention paid to the top surface of the cell, high fill factor due to the high open circuit voltage and low parasitic resistance losses, and high short circuit current density due to use of shallow diffusions, a low grid coverage, and an optimized double layer antireflection coating is described.
