  • Abstract
    This paper addresses the need for new junction separation techniques that are low-cost, selective, have a high throughput and high-yield. Pre- as well as post-diffusion selective approaches as integrated into an existing low cost screenprinted metallisation processing scheme are discussed and compared to state-of-the-art technology.
