摘要:
A method for preparing an amorphous silicon solar cell is disclosed which comprises forming, on a substrate, a first electrode, a first conductive film, a thinner first substantially intrinsic film, a thicker second substantially intrinsic film, a second conductive film and a second electrode in this order: the method being characterized in that at least the thicker second substantially intrinsic film is formed by the sequential steps of: (a) depositing a semiconductor film containing 20 atom% or less of bound hydrogen and/or bound deuterium to a thickness of from 5 to 1000 Å, and then (b) modifying the deposited film, the sequence of steps being repeated multiple times. The solar cell formed by the above-mentioned method is particularly excellent in long-term stability.
摘要:
A method for forming an amorphous semiconductor film which comprises (a) a film-forming step of forming a semiconductor film having not more that 20 atomic percent of bound hydrogen to a thickness of 3 to 1000 Å, and (b) a modifying step of modifying the formed film, the steps being repeated multiple times. The modifying step may involve exposure to discharge atmosphere contained a non-film-forming reactive gas, or to a monovalent ion, or to atomic hydrogen to improve the properties of the semiconductor film. For a halogenated silicon film, modification may involve dehalogenation-hydrogenation.
摘要:
A method for forming an amorphous semiconductor thin film on a substrate, which comprises preparing a reactor fitted with at least a high-frequency electrode for generating glow discharge, applying an A.C. voltage to the electrode, applying a D,.C. voltage to the electrode independently from the A.C. voltage, feeding a reactive gas into the reactor to generate glow discharge of the reactive gas and maintain it, and forming the semiconductor thin film on the substrate.
