Description
図1は、本発明の一実施形態の太陽電池の模式的断面図である。図2Aは、複数の太陽電池を、配線材を介して電気的に接続した太陽電池ストリングの平面図であり、図2Bはその断面図である。
アルカリを用いた異方性エッチングにより受光面に高さ約2μmピラミド状のテクスチャが形成された6インチp型単結晶シリコン基板に、リン拡散を行い、基板の両面にリンを拡散させた。基板の裏面をHF/HNO3水溶液の液面に接触させ、基板の裏面を約5μmエッチングして、リン拡散時に基板の裏面に生成したリンケイ酸ガラス(PSG)およびリン拡散領域を除去して、リンやガラス等の不純物の無い平滑な表面を得た。その後、約3%のHF水溶液に基板を浸漬して、受光面のPSGを除去した。
上記の参考例1で得られた太陽電池の変換特性を測定後、受光面側からYAGレーザの第三高調波(波長355nm)を照射して、フィンガー電極と平行な方向の面内の中心線に沿って分割溝を形成した。分割溝の深さは、シリコン基板の厚みの3分の1程度であった。
参考例2で得られた2枚の長方形状の太陽電池のそれぞれの変換特性を測定後、150℃の加熱オーブン内で1時間の加熱を行い、結晶シリコンの露出面に酸化膜を形成した。その後、2枚の太陽電池のそれぞれの変換特性を測定した。
実施例における空気雰囲気下での加熱に代えて、150℃の加熱を真空オーブン内で実施し、2枚の太陽電池のそれぞれの変換特性を測定した。
