    Abstract: Fabrication methods and structures relating to multi-level metallization of solar cells are described. In one embodiment, a back contact solar cell comprises a substrate having a light receiving frontside surface and a backside surface for forming patterned emitter and base regions. A first electrically conductive metallization layer is patterned on the backside base and emitter regions. An electrically insulating layer is formed on the first electrically conductive metallization layer and a second electrically conductive metallization layer is formed on the electrically insulating layer. The second electrically conductive metallization layer is connected to the first electrically conductive metallization layer through conductive via plugs formed in the electrically insulating layer.
