Provided is: a process for producing safely at low cost a semiconductor substrate excellent in photoelectric transduction efficiency, in which a fine uneven structure suitable for a solar cell can be formed uniformly with desired size on the surface of the semiconductor substrate; a semiconductor substrate for solar application in which a uniform and fine pyramid-shaped uneven structure is provided uniformly within the surface thereof, and an etching solution for forming a semiconductor substrate having a uniform and fine uneven structure. A semiconductor substrate is etched with the use of an alkali etching solution containing at least one kind selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids having a carbon number of 1 to 12 and having at least one carboxyl group in a molecule, and salts thereof, to thereby form an uneven structure on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.

A piezoelectric on-off value for air conditioning comprises a bendable metal plate fixed at one end thereof; a valve member mounted on the other end of the metal plate along a ceiling plate, the value member having vent holes corresponding to vent holes in the ceiling plate, and the valve member changing the relative closure of the vent holes when the metal plate is deformed by application of voltage to the piezoelectric ceramic.

Provided is a process in which a polycrystalline silicon ingot improved in life time characteristics, which are correlated with the conversion efficiency of solar wafers, is inexpensively produced by the ordinary-pressure hydrogen-atmosphere melting method. In the process, the generation of oxygen and impurities in the silicon melt is inhibited and light-element impurities are removed through reaction or crystallization. Fine crystal grains can be grown at a high rate, and a high-purity polycrystalline silicon ingot having a crystal structure reduced in crystal defect can be grown.A silicon raw material is melted in an atmosphere of 100% hydrogen at ordinary pressure or an elevated pressure to prepare a silicon melt and simultaneously dissolve hydrogen in the silicon melt. The silicon melt containing hydrogen dissolved therein is solidified. Thereafter, the solid is held at a high temperature around the solidification temperature to grow silicon crystal grains in the solid phase and thereby obtain a polycrystalline silicon ingot.

Provided are: a process for producing safely at low cost a semiconductor substrate excellent in photoelectric conversion efficiency, and stable in an etching rate and a pyramid shape, which is capable of uniformly forming a fine uneven structure with desired size suitable for a solar cell on the surface thereof; a semiconductor substrate for solar application having a uniform and fine pyramid-shaped uneven structure in a plane; and an etching solution for forming a semiconductor substrate having a uniform and fine uneven structure, which has a high stability at initial use. The process comprises etching a semiconductor substrate with the use of an alkaline etching solution containing at least one kind selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids having a carbon number of 1 to 12 and having at least one carboxyl group in a molecule, salts thereof, and silicon, to thereby form an uneven structure on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
摘要:
Provided are: a safe, low-cost method of producing a polycrystalline silicon substrate excellent in photoelectric conversion efficiency by which a uniform, fine uneven structure suited to a solar cell can be simply formed on the surface of the polycrystalline silicon substrate; and a polycrystalline silicon substrate having a uniform, fine, pyramid-shaped uneven structure so that its reflectance can be significantly reduced. The uneven structure is formed on the surface of the polycrystalline silicon substrate by etching the polycrystalline silicon substrate with an alkaline etching solution containing at least one kind selected from the group consisting of a carboxylic acid having 1 or more and 12 or less carbon atoms and each having at least one carboxyl group in one molecule, and salts of the acids.
