20120318326 | THIN FILM SOLAR CELL MODULE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A thin film solar cell module including a plurality of cells in which a transparent electrode, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a rear surface electrode are stacked in this order includes a first photoelectric conversion layer separation trench and a rear surface electrode separation trench in which the photoelectric conversion layer is removed between a cell connection apertural area and a transparent electrode separation trench and between the cell connection apertural area and a rear surface electrode separation trench, and white reflection materials having an insulation property are formed at the inside of the trenches. The structure improves light use efficiency of thin film solar cells, and achieves thin film solar cell modules easily manufacturable. | 12-20-2012 |
20130098424 | THIN-FILM SOLAR BATTERY AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - Cells including a first electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a second electrode layer on a translucent substrate are connected. Between adjacent cells, a first separating groove separates the first electrode layer, a second separating groove separates the second electrode layer, and a connecting groove electrically connects the second electrode layer of a cell and the first electrode layer of the other. A reflective film is provided on the second electrode layer having a transparent conductive film and a metal film stacked in this order on the photoelectric conversion layer and at least the metal film is patterned into lines. The metal film is patterned into lines with a same width within the connecting groove and is connected to the first electrode layer of the adjacent cell. The reflective film is provided in the connecting groove where the metal film is not formed and in the second separating groove. | 04-25-2013 |
20140238476 | PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF, AND PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION MODULE - A photoelectric conversion device in which a substantially intrinsic i-type amorphous hydrogen-containing semiconductor layer, a p-type amorphous hydrogen-containing semiconductor layer, and a first transparent conductive layer are stacked in this order on a first surface of an n-type semiconductor substrate that generates a photogenerated carrier by receiving light, wherein the first transparent conductive layer includes a hydrogen-containing area formed of a transparent conductive material that contains hydrogen and a hydrogen-diffusion suppression area that is present on a side of the p-type amorphous hydrogen-containing semiconductor layer with respect to the hydrogen-containing area and that is formed of a transparent conductive material that does not substantially contain hydrogen, and the hydrogen-diffusion suppression area has a hydrogen concentration distribution in which a hydrogen content on a side of the p-type amorphous hydrogen-containing semiconductor layer is lower than that on a side of the hydrogen-containing area. | 08-28-2014 |
