To improve the adherence of the Ni plated layer and therefore to decrease the contact resistivity, a plating process with two separated Ni plating steps, named “two-step Ni plating”, is introduced.
In summary, the horizontal plating approach is more suited to solar cell plating, as it allows viable direct plating, but further investigation to satisfy the requirements of both reliability and high throughput,

Our mission is to promote and support the use of nickel in appropriate applications. NI grows and supports markets for new and existing nickel applications including stainless steel; and promotes
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first 60-cell module results from a very simple process scheme for creating fully plated nickel–copper contacts on crystalline silicon solar cells.
In this article, we look at how electroplating is used in solar component manufacturing, why plating quality matters as metallisation methods evolve, and what manufacturers need to
Annealing induced silicidation of plated nickel contacts can severly lower the solar cell performance due to deep nickel silicide spikes penetrating the space charge region.
TOPCon solar cells employing low-temperature plated seed nickel and copper metal electrodes achieve an efficiency of 23.90 %. Electroplating copper technology offers advantages
Front and rear side contact TOPCon solar cells with plated Ni/Cu/Ag metallization on the TOPCon layer showed the feasibility of the plating process allowing efficiencies up to 22.7 % with FF = 82.4 % and
