Abstract

The invention relates to a solar cell with a contact frame and to a method for the production thereof. Said solar cell with a contact frame is essentially comprised of: a) a semiconductor layer (HLS) serving as base material; b) an electrically highly conductive semiconductor layer (HL-HLS) located directly beneath the surface of the active semiconductor layer (HLS), of an insulation layer (IS) located on the active semiconductor layer (HLS); c) a metal layer (MS) insulated from the semiconductor layer (HLS), connected electrically in a highly conductive manner to the highly conductive semiconductor layer (HL-HLS), by means of contacts (K), whereby; d) the metal layer is provided in the form of a contact frame, on which the contacts are located. According to the invention, the electrically highly conductive semiconductor layer (HL-HLS) has no connection to the lateral surface (SF) of the solar cell. The inventive method results in a height reduction of the active semiconductor layer (HLS) so that the electrically highly conductive semiconductor layer (HL-HLS) does not extend up to the lateral surface (SF) of the semiconductor layer (HLS).
