A method for manufacturing a photovoltaic solar cell device includes the following. A p-n junction having a first doping density is formed. Formation of the p-n junction is enhanced by introducing a second doping density to form high doped areas for a dual emitter application. The high doped areas are defined by a masking process integrated with the formation of the p-n junction, resulting in a mask pattern of the high doped areas. A metallization of the high doped areas occurs in accordance with the mask pattern of the high doped areas.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for a photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic module comprising a plurality of photovoltaic cells, a controllable infrared protection layer, and a protection switching means. The controllable infrared protection layer is for reducing the infrared radiation absorbed by the photovoltaic module, where the controllable infrared protection layer has a first state and a second state. When the infrared protection layer is in the first state the transmission of infrared radiation to the photovoltaic cells is higher than when the infrared protection layer is in the second state. The protection switching means is for switching the controllable infrared protection layer between the first state and the second state.

摘要:
A positive resist containing a weak base and polyvinyl phenol as a film forming component is deposited on a substrate, subsequently exposed imagewise, cured, blanket exposed and developed in a KOH solution at temperatures of less than 10.degree. C. The resist pattern thus obtained is exposed to light having a wavelength ranging from 300 to 320 nm and finally heat-treated at temperatures ranging from 150.degree. to 280.degree. C. The finished lift-off mask is dimensionally stable at temperatures of .ltoreq.280.degree. C. and does not emit liquid or volatile components when heated.During application of the lift-off mask, a material is blanket vapor deposited at a substrate temperature ranging from about 160.degree. to 250.degree. C. on the resist pattern having openings with overhanging walls. Subsequently, the resist pattern is dissolved in a sodium metasilicate solution, causing the material vapor deposited thereon to be lifted off, with the material deposited on the substrate directly remaining.The lift-off mask is particularly suitable for generating conductor patterns on semiconductor substrates if low and uniform contact resistances between the conductor and the semiconductor material and a high degree of pattern accuracy and packing density are required.

The present invention relates to a cold pilger rolling mill and a method and means for manufacturing tubes with externally and/or internally thickened portions by reducing the tubes over a mandrel by means of grooved rolls which are mounted in a reciprocating roll stand. The invention provides several different varying diameter grooves on the rolls, which grooves can be brought into play one after the other by rotation of the rolls through an adjustment of the toothed racks on which the rolls are mounted. Consequently, at least one groove is provided for the rolling out of the required cross-section of most of the tube and a second groove is provided for the rolling of a thickened portion of the tube. It is essential that a smoothing zone is associated with each groove, and a zone for rotating and advancing the tube is associated with at least one of the grooves.
