Abstract
A method of deposition on a substrate used for the manufacture of a solar cell is provided. The method includes depositing a first conductive pattern on a first side of the substrate. The first conductive pattern is one of a plurality of busbars and a plurality of fingers. The method includes providing a screen over the substrate. The screen includes a set of openings. The screen has a bottom side having a varying vertical profile including low portions and high portions. The method includes transferring a printing material from the screen to the substrate through the set of openings to print a second conductive pattern on the first side of the substrate. The second conductive pattern is the other one of the plurality of busbars and the plurality of fingers. During the printing of the second conductive pattern, the first conductive pattern is substantially wet and the screen is disposed over the substrate in a manner such that the high portions are elevated above the first conductive pattern.
