Method of manufacturing an integrated-type amorphous semiconductor solar cell and an integrated-type amorphous semiconductor solar cell

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated amorphous solar cell which is easy to manufacture and excellent in cell characteristic in an integrated amorphous solar cell which is designed to convert incident light from the opposite side to a board to electric energy. ;SOLUTION: Rear surface electrode layers 22a and 22b, amorphous semiconductor layers 23a and 23b and transparent electrode layers 24a and 24b are laminated on a board in this order, thereby forming an optical electromotive force cell. They are cut at a cutting area 31 at the same location so that they may be separated into a plurality of division cells 30a and 30b, thereby forming a rear surface electrode exposed area 32b by removing partially the amorphous semiconductor layer 23b and the transparent electrode layer 24b. A convergence electrode 26a is provided on the transparent electrode layer 24a of the division cell 30. This convergence electrode 26a is electrically connected to the rear surface electrode exposed area 32b of the adjacent division cell 30b.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1997,JPO
