Method for manufacturing solar cell

1. A method for manufacturing a solar cell, comprising:

forming a first doping film on a substrate;

patterning the first doping film so as to form a first doping film pattern and so as to expose a portion of the substrate;

forming a diffusion prevention film on the first doping film pattern so as to cover the exposed portion of the substrate;

etching the diffusion prevention film so as to form spacers on lateral surfaces of the first doping film pattern;

forming a second doping film on the first doping film pattern so as to cover the spacer and exposed substrate;

forming a first doping region on the substrate surface by diffusing an impurity from the first doping film pattern into the substrate; and

forming a second doping region on the substrate surface by diffusing an impurity from the second doping film pattern into the substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a buffer layer disposed between the first doping region and the second doping region, wherein the buffer layer is formed on a portion of the substrate that corresponds to the spacer.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising forming a plurality of the first doping regions, a plurality of the second doping regions, and a plurality of the buffer layers, ones of the first doping regions disposed in alternating manner with ones of the second doping regions, wherein ones of the buffer layers are disposed therebetween.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the forming a buffer layer further comprises forming a LDD (lightly doped drain) region, the forming a LDD region further comprising diffusing an impurity from the first doping region into the substrate so as to form a first buffer layer, and diffusing an impurity from the second doping region into the substrate so as to form a second buffer layer.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the diffusing an impurity from the first doping region and the diffusing an impurity from the second doping region are performed substantially simultaneously with the forming a first doping region and the forming a second doping region.
