Abstract: A method is disclosed for applying an electrical conductor to a solar cell, which comprises providing a flexible membrane with a pattern of groove formed on a first surface thereof, and loading the grooves with a composition comprising conductive particles. The composition is, or may be made, electrically conductive. Once the membrane is loaded, the grooved first surface of the membrane is brought into contact with a front or/and back of a solar cell. A pressure is then applied between the solar cell and the membrane(s) so that the composition loaded to the grooves adheres to the solar cell. The membrane(s) and the solar cell are separated and the composition in the groove is left on the solar cell surface. The electrically conductive particles in the composition are then sintered or otherwise fused to form a pattern of electrical conductor on the solar cell, the pattern corresponding to the pattern formed in the membrane(s).

Abstract: A system is disclosed for transferring a substance pattern to a substrate. The system comprises a web carrying the substance pattern, a web drive mechanism for driving the web through a nip between a roller and an opposing surface, and a transport mechanism for advancing a substrate having parallel side edges towards the nip, for the substrate to be gripped in the nip and frictionally driven through the nip at the same time as, and with the same speed as, the web, the web being pressed against a surface of the substrate during passage through the nip to cause the substance pattern to transfer from the web to the substrate. The lateral abutments located on opposite sides of the substrate are movable towards and away one another and resiliently biased to grip it, the abutments serving to align the substrate with the web and to advance it towards the nip.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for transferring a pattern of a composition containing particles of an electrically conductive material and a thermally activated adhesive from a surface of a flexible web to a surface of a substrate. The apparatus comprises: respective drive mechanisms for advancing the web and the substrate to a nip through which the web and the substrate pass at the same time and where a pressure roller acts to press the surfaces of the web and the substrate against one another, a heating station for heating at least one of the web and the substrate prior to, or during, passage through the nip, to a temperature at which the adhesive in the composition is activated, a cooling station for cooling the web after passage through the nip, and a separating device for peeling the web away from the substrate after passage through the cooling station, to leave the pattern of composition adhered to the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: There is disclosed a transferable composition being applicable to a membrane serving to transfer a pattern of the composition to an intended substrate. The transferable composition comprises a swellable polymer swelled by a swelling agent and particles dispersed therein. Methods of preparing the composition, applying it to a transfer membrane as a pattern, and transferring the pattern to a substrate, as well as articles made thereby, are also provided. The transferred patterns may serve a decorative and/or functional purpose and the transferable compositions may accordingly include decorative and/or functional particles. When the functional particles are or can be rendered electrically conductive, a pattern formed therewith can be part of a conductive circuit and can serve, for example, for the manufacturing of a solar cell.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for transferring a substance pattern to a substrate. The system comprises a nip defined between a roller and an opposing surface, a web carrying the substance pattern driven to pass the nip with a predetermined velocity, and an endless conveyor for transporting the substrate towards the nip, the substrate passing through the nip at the same time, and with the same speed, as the web in order for the substance pattern to be transferred from the web to the substrate. Upon gripping of the substrate by the nip, no further force is applied by the transport conveyor, thereby avoiding compression of the substrate. The endless transport conveyor can be formed with at least one projection configured to engage a trailing edge of the substrate and can be driven to push the substrate towards the nip with a velocity less than the velocity of the web.
