The present disclosure provides a method of patterning a polymeric layer based on the chemical reaction of two chemical compounds. One chemical compound is provided in the polymeric layer and another chemical compound is deposited on the polymeric layer by, for example, ink-jet printing. The method allows for fabrication of, for example, metallization patterns for solar cells electronic components, integrated devices and formation of selective doped areas in solar cells amongst others.

Method of patterning a layer

A dielectric, structure and a method of forming a dielectric structure for a rear surface of a silicon solar cell are provided. The method comprises forming a first dielectric layer over the rear surface of the silicon solar cell, and then depositing a layer of metal such as aluminum over the first dielectric layer. The metal layer is then anodized to form a porous layer and a material layer is deposited over a surface of the porous layer such that the material deposits on the surface of the porous layer without contacting the silicon surface.
