Abstract:
The invention relates to a glass sheet for producing a thin-film solar module, said sheet being provided with a transparent, electrically conductive metal oxide layer (3) and having a rough surface for scattering the incident light. The side of the glass sheet (2) that faces away from the metal oxide layer (3) is provided with a rough surface for reducing the reflection of light, said surface, together with the metal oxide layer on the opposite side, causing an increase in the diffusely scattered light. The metal oxide layer (3) produces a diffuse fraction of scattering (haze) of between 5 and 40 % at a wavelength of 550 nm for the incident light.
Abstract:
A substrate is coated with a layer(s) or coating(s) that includes, for example, amorphous carbon in a form of diamond-like carbon (DLC). The DLC is then subjected to barrier discharge treatment (or some other type of plasma treatment) in order to cause the contact angle θ thereof to decrease. In certain example embodiments, an atmospheric plasma is used in the barrier discharge treatment, and the glow discharge produces oxygen radicals which impinge on the DLC and cause the contact angle to decrease.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a photovoltaic module comprising a back electrode layer (4) deposited on the semi-conductor layer (3), and contact strips (8) fixed to the back electrode layer (4). According to the invention, a rear side covering (13) comprising a cross-linking film (14) is laminated on the back electrode layer (4). Said back electrode layer (4) and the contact strips (8) are provided with a flame-pyrolytically deposited silicon oxide layer prior to the lamination of the rear side covering (13) comprising the cross-linking film (14).

A sputtering target includes an outer target tube (90), an inner support tube (54) of rectangular cross-sectional shape supporting a magnet carrier extending along substantially the entire length of the inner support tube; and a water cooling circuit including at least one passageway within said inner support tube with an inlet at one end thereof adapted to receive cooling water from an external source, at least one outlet aperture at an opposite end thereof opening to a chamber radially between the inner support tube and the outer target tube; and at least one cooling water outlet at the one end of the inner support tube .
Abstract:
Eine Glasscheibe zur Herstellung eines Dünnschichtsolarmoduls, die mit einer transparenten, elektrisch leitfähigen Metalloxidschicht (3) versehen ist, weist zur Streuung des einfallenden Lichts eine raue Oberfläche auf. Auf der von der Metalloxidschicht (3) abgewandten Seite ist die Glasscheibe (2) zur Antireflexion des Lichts mit einer rauen Oberfläche versehen, die zusammen mit der Metalloxidschicht auf der abgewandten Seite zu einer Erhöhung des diffus gestreuten Lichtes führt. Die Metalloxidschicht (3) führt zu 5 bis 40 % diffusen Anteils der Streuung (Haze) bei 550 nm Wellenlänge des einfallenden Lichtes.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for depositing film on flexible (plastic/metal) foil and/or temperature sensitive substrates (101) by combustion chemical vapor deposition (C- CVD). A substrate (101) is held in place to provide physical and conductive thermal contact between the substrate (101) and a substrate holder (102). The substrate holder (102) is cooled using a cooling fluid and the substrate (101) and burner are moved relative to each other as C-CVD takes place. Heating of the substrate (101) during C- CVD is controlled and deterioration by heating is avoided. The foil or substrate (101) is suitable, in particular, for use in flat and flexible displays.
