| 20110186127 | METHOD FOR DEPOSITING AN AMORPHOUS SILICON FILM FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES WITH REDUCED LIGHT-INDUCED DEGRADATION FOR IMPROVED STABILIZED PERFORMANCE - A thin film photovoltaic device on a substrate is being realized by a method for manufacturing a p-i-n junction semiconductor layer stack with a p-type microcrystalline silicon layer, a p-type amorphous silicon layer, a buffer silicon layer comprising preferably intrinsic amorphous silicon, an intrinsic type amorphous silicon layer, and an n-type silicon layer over the intrinsic type amorphous silicon layer. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110177627 | ASSEMBLY LINE FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES - The present application provides a method for the production of photovoltaic devices, preferably tandem solar cells. The method comprises the steps of: Providing at least one substrate comprising a front contact; and depositing at least a first semiconductor stack onto the substrate to produce a photo-voltaic device; and comprises at least two of the steps of: applying a back contact to the photovoltaic device; contacting of the photovoltaic device; removal of unnecessary material from the edge regions of the photovoltaic device; encapsulation; cross-contacting; and/or framing of the photovoltaic device, wherein the substrate is continuously or semi-continuously moved from one step of the method to the next step of the method. The present application furthermore provides a system to carry out the method of the invention. | 07-21-2011 |
