Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an integrated thin-film solar cell, the method comprising: forming and patterning a first conductive material to have a prominence and a depression adjacently spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other on a substrate; obliquely depositing a second conductive material on a predetermined area of a resultant substrate; forming a solar cell layer on an entire surface the resultant substrate; obliquely depositing a third conductive material on the solar cell layer so that one or more portions of a top surface of the solar cell layer remain exposed; etching the exposed portion of the solar cell layer using the third conductive material as a mask; and obliquely depositing a fourth conductive material on the resultant substrate so that the second conductive material and the third conductive material adjacent to the second conductive material are electrically connected by the fourth conductive material.
