Embodiment 1

[0135] as in image 3 As shown in (a) and 3(b), a transparent insulating substrate 2 formed of a glass substrate was prepared, having a rectangular surface of 560 mm (width) × 925 mm (length), which was formed with SnO 2 Transparent conductive layer 3.

[0136] The fundamental wave YAG laser beam is scanned from the side of the transparent insulating substrate 2 in the length direction of the separation trench to remove the transparent conductive layer 3 in stripes. Thus, 50 first separation trenches 6 each having a width of 0.08 mm were formed, as in Figure 4 shown in (b). The first separation trenches 6 are formed such that the distances between adjacent first separation trenches 6 are equal (only in the power generation region). For the transparent insulating substrate 2, ultrasonic cleaning was performed with pure water. The first separation trench 6 is not formed in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the separation trench, as in Figure 4 shown in ...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a thin film solar cell (1) which comprises a transparent insulating substrate (2), and a transparent electrode layer (3), a semiconductor photoelectric conversion layer (4) and a backside electrode layer (5) sequentially arranged on the transparent insulating substrate (2), while having a separation groove (8) for separating at least the backside electrode layer (5). In this thin film solar cell (1), the transparent electrode layer (3) extends beyond the semiconductor photoelectric conversion layer (4) and the backside electrode layer (5) in the longitudinal direction of the separation groove (8). Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing such a thin film solar cell (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a thin-film solar cell and a method for manufacturing the thin-film solar cell. Specifically, the present invention relates to a thin-film solar cell that allows reduction in manufacturing cost and improvement in output, and a method of manufacturing the thin-film solar cell. Background technique [0002] For solar cells that directly convert the energy of sunlight rays into electric energy, various types are now put to practical use. In particular, research and development of thin-film solar cells using amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon thin films is progressing in consideration of relying on low-temperature processes and area increase allowing for low-cost manufacturing. [0003] Figure 40 is a schematic plan view of an embodiment of a conventional thin-film solar cell. Figure 41 is in Figure 40 A schematic cross-sectional view of the peripheral region of the thin-film solar cell 100 shown in . Although in p...
