Abstract

The present invention provides a device for single-sided electrolytic treatment of a flat substrate. The device comprises a bath for electrolytic fluid and conveying means for conveying the flat substrate in a conveying direction at the free surface of the fluid in the bath, with the flat substrate being horizontally oriented such that the underside of the flat substrate makes contact with the free surface of the fluid in the bath. The conveying means comprise two conveying elements disposed opposite each other, which extend along two respective conveying paths, which conveying paths each comprise an electrolytic part, which electrolytic parts extend on two opposite longitudinal sides of the bath.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for single-sided electrolytic treatment of planar substrates. Such planar substrates can be formed not only from a portion of a strip that has been unwound from a reel, but also from discrete plates. Single-sided electrolytic treatment of planar substrates can be used, for example, in the manufacture of solar panels. The invention is especially, but not exclusively, usable with solar cells in which a layer of semiconducting material, generally denoted by the acronym CGIS, is applied to a substrate in the form of a sheet of glass (e.g. 60 cm x 120 cm in size) . The semiconductor material consists of copper, indium, gallium and selenium. [0002] The object of the present invention is to provide a device which makes it possible to carry out the single-sided electrolytic treatment process of planar substrates as efficiently as possible, so that for example solar cells provided with the aforementioned CIGS semiconductor m...
