Patent ID: 7951725

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a translucent solar cell, comprising: providing a substrate; forming a front electrode layer on said substrate; providing at least one photo mask; providing a laser beam projected through the at least one photo mask so as to partially remove the front electrode layer, thereby forming a plurality of apertures; forming at least one photoconductive layer on said front electrode layer; forming a back electrode layer on said at least one photoconductive layer; providing a laser beam through the at least one photo mask such that the laser beam extends from the back electrode layer to the plurality of apertures and thus partially removes the back electrode layer, the photoconductive layer, and the front electrode layer, thereby forming a plurality of light-transmissive regions, wherein each said light-transmissive region has a projected area located within a corresponding one of the apertures; and forming a shielding region at a central portion of each said aperture.
