Hello,

you can use any kind of salt in an aqueous solution for a contact, e.g. KCL. The
problem is that you form over the time a oxide layer at the backside. That
changes your voltage drop etc etc. You want to use also a HF based electrolyte
to have no oxide. In case of p-type you have to illuminate the back-side to form
hydrogen. You'll need no illumination in case of n-type silicon and in case of a
highly doped back-side (or wafer).
My suggestion: highly doped back-side, HF containing electrolyte with a
supporting electrolyte for a better conductivity.

If you need more information, send me an email.

With regards

Marc

someone tell me if there is any electrolyte that can conduct current but will
