IPC: H01L31/18
Filed: 1999-07-01
Granted: 2005-05-16
Abstract: A method for removing short circuits in thin film solar cell elements during manufacturing by applying a pseudo-alternating voltage between the substrate side and the back electrodes of the solar cell elements. The waveform of the pseudo-alternating voltage may be a sinusoidal wave, a half-wave sinusoidal wave, a sawtooth wave, a square wave or the like. The peak voltage in the reverse direction is up to the reverse breakdown voltage of the solar cell element, and the waveform may either contain a small forward component or no forward component. The peak voltage in the reverse direction may also momentarily exceed the reverse breakdown voltage. The period of the pseudo-alternating voltage matches the time constant of the solar cell element determined by the capacity and reverse resistance of the solar cell element. The pseudo-alternating voltage induces an alternating current which discharges the accumulated charges in the solar cell element, thereby protecting it from high voltages generated by accumulated charges. Consequently, the method effectively removes short-circuits in the semiconductor layer without damaging non-short-circuited sections of the semiconductor layer.
