摘要:
A thin-film solar cell includes a thin active layer of high purity material having opposed front and rear surfaces for light-to-electricity conversion, a structure for supporting the thin active layer, and a rear electrode in contact with the rear surface of the active layer. The supporting structure includes a supporting substrate of a low purity material having opposed front and rear surfaces, on the front surface of which the rear surface of the active layer is disposed, and an insulating barrier layer interposed between the front surface of the supporting substrate and the rear surface of the active layer. The barrier layer prevents impurities in the supporting substrate from diffusing into the active layer. Since the supporting substrate comprises a low purity material, the quantity of the expensive high purity material can be reduced by reducing the thickness of the active layer, resulting in low production costs. Since the supporting substrate is present on the rear surface of the active layer, a surface electrode disposed on the front surface of the active layer is exposed. Therefore, when a solar cell module is fabricated using a plurality of the solar cells, a wire bonding process for connecting adjacent solar cells is easily carried out.

A superluminescent diode (SLD) includes a substrate, a double heterojunction structure including a first conductivity type first cladding layer, an undoped active layer, and a second conductivity type second cladding layer. A second conductivity type first diffused region having a stripe shape and a length extends from a front facet halfway to the rear facet through which current is injected into the active layer and a second conductivity type second diffused region spaced from the first diffused region extends through the second cladding layer and the active layer and into the first cladding layer between the first diffused region and the rear facet of the device. Even when operating at high light output power, light reflections are reduced so that the SLD operates with hardly any laser oscillation.

A solar cell has a high ability to prevent recombination of electrons near the cell surface, wherein a surface of a p-type substrate at a surface is provided with an n-type region subjected to a treatment with a phosphorus containing acid and a silicon nitride layer is then directly formed on the n-type region. The solar cell can be prepared at a low temperature by a method comprising 1) a step of subjecting the n-type region to a phosphorus containing acid treatment at a low temperature and 2) a step of forming a silicon nitride by a vacuum and thermal CVD method.

A method for producing a semiconductor structure including a semiconductor film formed on a semiconductor substrate body via an insulating film includes: laminating a first insulating film, a first semiconductor film, and a second insulating film on the semiconductor substrate successively; forming stripe-shaped second semiconductor films of predetermined width on the second insulating film arranged periodically at a predetermined interval and covering these second semiconductor films with a third insulating film; performing zone melting recrystallization of the first semiconductor film from one end of the substrate to the opposite end along the stripe direction of the stripe-shaped second semiconductor film; etching the third insulating film and portions of the second insulating film not sandwiched by the first and second semiconductor films; oxidizing portions of the second semiconductor film and the first semiconductor film exposed in the etching step and etching and removing the second insulating film remaining after the previous etching. Thus, a semiconductor substrate including a recrystallized semiconductor film having removed sub-grain-boundaries generated during the zone melting recrystallization, is obtained by fewer process steps than in the prior art.
