In one method, a succession of active layers is applied to a growth substrate. Applied to the reverse side of the active layers is a dielectric layer. Laser energy is introduced into a defined volumetric section of the dielectric layer to form an opening. Subsequently, a metallic layer is applied to form a succession of reflective layers, to fill the opening with metallic material and to create a reverse-side electrically conductive contact point to the reverse side of the succession of active layers. Pursuant to another method, a succession of reflective layers is applied to the active layers and laser energy is applied to a volumetric section of the reflective layers, to create a reverse-side electrically conductive contact point.	10-30-2008

20100170558	Thin Layer Solar Cell Module and Method for Producing It - The invention concerns a process for producing a thin layer solar cell module with a plurality of segments that are electrically connected in series and arranged on a common substrate. The invention additionally concerns the corresponding thin layer solar cell modules and a production line that is suitable for conducting the production process. The process has steps for application of layers onto the substrate to form at least one electrode and one photoactive layer sequence and has steps for structuring the applied and/or to be applied layers to form the plurality of segments. At least one electrode and one photoactive layer sequence are applied before structuring steps are carried out.	07-08-2010
