    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.

    摘要: A thin-film solar cell includes a thin-film active layer with a p-n Junction and a heat-resistant substrate for mechanically supporting the active layer, which substrate is formed by a plasma coating method. In the plasma coating method, a source material of the substrate is melted with a high-temperature plasma and sprayed onto a base plate by a high-speed gas jet. Since the substrate formed by the plasma coating method is porous, even if an inexpensive material including a lot of impurities is used as a material of the substrate, the impurities are collected in pores of the substrate and never sprout out of the substrate breaking through the thin-film active layer.

    摘要: A method for producing a thin film solar cell includes preparing a substrate of a low purity material and having opposed front and rear surfaces; forming an insulating film on the front surface of the substrate; forming a second conductivity type active layer of a high purity material on the insulating film with a front surface exposed; forming a second conductivity type semiconductor region within the active layer, reaching the front surface, to produce a p-n junction for light-to-electricity conversion; forming an anti-reflection film on the front surface of the active layer, the anti-reflection film reducing reflection of incident light; forming a surface electrode in contact with the front surface of the active layer; adhering the front surface side of the active layer to a supporting plate and selectively etching the low purity substrate from the rear surface to form a supporting substrate supporting the active layer; and forming a rear electrode on the rear surface of the supporting substrate contacting the active layer.
