    摘要: There is disclosed a method of producing a photoelectric conversion device comprising the steps of forming a semiconductor substrate comprising a first and a second semiconductor layers with a separation layer therebetween; bonding a support substrate to a surface of the second semiconductor layer opposite to the separation-layer-side surface to form a bonded substrate; separating the first and the second semiconductor layers by the separation layer; and producing a photoelectric conversion device in the second semiconductor layer, wherein when bonding the semiconductor substrate and the support substrate to each other, at least a portion is formed in the bonded substrate in which at least a part of end portions of the semiconductor substrate and the support substrate is not bonded to the other substrate and a fluid is jetted against a side surface of the bonded substrate, thereby separating the first and the second semiconductor layers. The method makes it possible to separate a bonded substrate with a high yield, thereby supplying photoelectric conversion devices with a high quality at a low production cost.

    摘要: When a bonded substrate stack prepared by bonding a first substrate in which a single-crystal Si layer is formed on a porous layer, and an insulating layer is formed on the single-crystal Si layer to a second substrate is to be separated at the porous layer, serrate defects at the peripheral portion of the separated substrates are prevented. A fluid is ejected from an ejection nozzle (112) and injected into the porous layer of a bonded substrate stack (30) while rotating the bonded substrate stack (30) about an axis (C) in a direction (R), thereby separating the bonded substrate stack (30) into two substrates at the porous layer. When the peripheral portion of the bonded substrate stack (30) is to be separated, the ejection nozzle (112) is located within a range (B).

    摘要: A crystal silicon substrate is anodized to form a porous layer thereon, and a thin-film crystal is grown by epitaxial growth on the porous layer. Openings extending from the surface of the grown crystal and reaching the porous layer are provided by applying laser beams, and the porous layer is selectively etched through the openings to separate the thin-film crystal from the substrate. The thin-film crystal separated is transferred to another supporting substrate to form a solar cell. Also, porous silicon layers serving as separation layers are formed on a substrate silicon wafer on both sides, and thin-film semiconductor (thin-film single-crystal silicon) layers are formed by epitaxial growth on both porous silicon layers. Then, through openings are made in the thin-film single-crystal silicon layers. Thereafter, the porous silicon layers are removed by wet etching carried out through the openings to separate two thin-film single-crystal silicon layers simultaneously from the wafer. When solar cells are formed, the thin-film single-crystal silicon layers are used as electricity generation layers, and the openings as through holes for a contact electrode. A back electrode is further provided on each thin-film single-crystal silicon layer, and this is attached to a base conductive substrate via an insulating layer.
