✦ Synopsis

In this paper a technological process for the production of p+-n-n ÷ silicon solar cells with efficiencies of 17% and total area short-circuit current densities of 36 mA cm -2 at air mass 1 conditions is described. The results were obtained with non-texturized surfaces and a single antireflection coating. The reasons for the high short-circuit current densities are described briefly in the paper.
