摘要:
A process of forming electrodes is simplified during modularizing of a solar battery. According to the manufacturing method and the manufacturing apparatus, a thin solar battery is manufactured at a reduced cost and with a better yield. Using a robot which includes a suction chip which can handle a semiconductor film 2 without any damage which is separated from a particular substrate 1, the semiconductor films 2 are each accurately placed through a transparent resin 3 onto a glass substrate 7 which serves as a window of a solar battery, and p-type and n-type electrodes are printed at a time on the semiconductor films 2 which are arranged. Further, since a monolithic tab electrode is soldered to connect the electrodes, the manufacturing processes of the solar battery are simplified.

In a method for fabricating a thin film solar cell, a thin semiconductor film serving as a power generating layer is formed on a substrate via an intermediate layer, a plurality of holes are formed penetrating through the thin semiconductor film and reaching the intermediate layer, and the intermediate layer is etched away through the through-holes, separating the thin semiconductor film from the substrate with high-efficiency. Since stress is hardly applied to the thin semiconductor film during the separation process, cracking and breaking of the semiconductor film is avoided. Further, since the surface of the substrate is maintained in good condition, the substrate can be reused, resulting in a reduction in the production cost.

A solar battery cell, solar battery module, and solar battery module group achieving high product value by enabling the display of surface patterns without reducing the power generating efficiency of the solar battery cells are provided. The direction and/or reflectance of reflected light incident to the surface of the solar battery cell are varied by controlling the distribution of the rough surface structure imparted to the solar battery cell surface. The direction or reflectance of reflected light incident to the surface of the solar battery cell is changed in part depending upon the part of the semiconductor solar battery cell surface to which the light is incident. Semiconductor solar battery cells with high product value can therefore be achieved because patterns with strong visual impact can be displayed and easily recognized without reducing the power generation efficiency of the solar battery cell.
摘要:
A semiconductor device fabrication method for simple and high-reliability electrode formation capable of increasing a bond strength with solder when performing wiring through soldering. To form an electrode on a semiconductor substrate having a junction, the pattern of an aluminum paste electrode having an opening is formed and thereafter, the pattern of a silver-aluminum paste electrode or silver paste electrode is formed on the opening so as to overlap with the pattern of the electrode. Thereby, it is possible to increase the bond strength with solder of the silver-aluminum paste electrode or silver paste electrode on the opening without being alloyed with the aluminum paste electrode. It is also possible to improve the certainty of the electrical connection between the electrodes because the overlap between the metallic paste patterns is alloyed.

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.

A semiconductor laser device includes a first conductivity type cladding layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity type cladding layer disposed on a first conductivity type substrate. A multiquantum barrier structure is disposed between the active layer and one of the cladding layers. The active layer includes a layer with a lattice constant different from the lattice constant of the first conductivity type substrate by at least 0.1 percent so that a strain is applied to the active layer. The threshold current is significantly reduced, resulting in a high power semiconductor laser capable of operating at a high temperature.

The lower cladding structure includes a first cladding layer of AlGaAs disposed on the current blocking layer and in the stripe-shaped groove and a second cladding layer of AlGaInP which is sufficiently thin not to cause inferior growth of the active layer disposed on the first cladding layer.

摘要:
A semiconductor laser device having a first conductivity type cladding layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity type cladding layer successively disposed on a first conductivity type substrate includes a superlattice semiconductor multi-layered structure disposed at least either between the active layer and the first conductivity type cladding layer or between the active layer and the second conductivity type cladding layer. The superlattice semiconductor multi-layered structure may include a multiquantum barrier and this multiquantum barrier may include a buffer layer for preventing tunneling disposed at the side of the active layer and a superlattice multi-layered film structure including plural barrier layers and plural well layers alternatingly laminated. As a result, light intensity at the laser facet is reduced, suppressing facet deterioration during high-power operation.
