Abstract

This present disclosure relates to conductive aluminum paste for fabricating a silicon solar cell. Herein, the conductive aluminum paste is composed of organic carrier, aluminum powder, nano-scale metal particle, and glass frit, wherein the nano-scale metal particle has a particle size distribution D50 in the range from 10 nanometers to 1000 nanometers and the weight percentage of the nano-scale metal particle associated with the conductive aluminum paste is around 0.1 through 10 wt %. Furthermore, the characteristics of the conductive aluminum paste are for reducing the sheet resistance value of the electrode, increasing the adhesion in the silicon solar cell package module, and enhancing the electro-optical conversion efficiency of the silicon solar cell.
