Patent EP-1052704-A3 (EP)
Inventor: HAYASHI KATSUHIKO
IPC: H01L31/042
Filed: 2000-03-21
Abstract: A reverse biasing apparatus is used to remove (10) short-circuited portions in a solar battery module having multiple strings of solar cells each including a first electrode layer, a photovoltaic semiconductor layer and a second electrode layer formed on a glass substrate, by applying a reverse bias voltage between the electrodes of adjacent solar cells. The reverse biasing apparatus comprises probes (15) to be in contact with the electrodes of adjacent three or more strings of solar cells, an actuator for actuating the probes (15) up and down, and a relay switch (17) for selecting, from the probes (15), a pair of probes (15) for applying the reverse bias voltage between the electrodes of an arbitrary pair of adjacent solar cells. The use of the reverse biasing apparatus can ensure an efficient reverse biasing process on a solar battery module (10) having integrated multiple strings of solar cells.

Abstract: A heat-resistant pipe 9 is arranged so as to traverse below a glass
ribbon 10 in a float bath 2 of molten tin 5, and bubbles emanate from the
heat-resistant pipe 9, thereby making the bottom surface (which is in contact
with the tin) uneven. Alternatively, the bottom surface is made uneven
with a roller for lifting the glass ribbon 10 out of the float bath 2 into an
annealing furnace 3. In addition to these operations for making the glass
surface uneven, a film can be applied to the top face of the glass ribbon 10 (i.e.
the surface that is not in contact with the tin) by CVD, supplying a mixed
gas of raw material from coaters 6. Thus, the invention makes it possible to
manufacture a glass sheet having an uneven surface efficiently, using a
technique for processing the surface of a glass sheet that is suitable for a
production line for float glass.

IPC: H01L21/00
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing lot to lot CD variation in semiconductor wafer
processing feeds back information gathered during inspection of a wafer, such as after
photoresist application, exposure and development, to upcoming lots that will be going
through the photolithography process, and feeds forward information to adjust the next
process the inspected wafer will undergo (e.g., the etch process). Embodiments include
forming a feature such as an etch mask on a semiconductor wafer at a "photo cell" by a
photolithography process, then conventionally imaging the feature with a CD-SEM to
measure its CD and other sensitive parameters. The measured parameters are linked, via the
feature's SEM waveform, to photolithography adjustable parameters such as stepper focus and
exposure settings. If the measured parameters deviate from design dimensions, the linked
information on focus and exposure is fed back to the photo cell so the stepper can be adjusted,
either automatically or at the user's discretion, to correct the deviation in following lots. The
measured parameters are also linked to etch process adjustable parameters such as etch recipes
for different over-etch and/or etch chemistry. If the measured parameters deviate from desired
values, a linked etch recipe to correct the error is fed forward to the etcher and implemented
automatically or at the user's discretion. This feedback and feed-forward mechanism
improves lot to lot CD control at inspection following photoresist development and at final
inspection as well.
