・でいる。That is, the present invention provides first and second
Both electrodes are made of metal and are made of oxides such as indium tin oxide, indium tin oxide, etc.
It has been known that metals constituting electrodes, generally aluminum, are sticky and can diffuse into semiconductors, resulting in a decrease in reliability in high-temperature storage tests at temperatures above 150°C. The purpose is to prevent.

Another feature is that it can reduce the area required for the conversion, ie, improve the effective conversion efficiency.

In addition, since metal materials are not used for the electrodes, there will be no abnormal diffusion at the same time as scribing in the LS of the high-temperature treatment process during composite gauze stacking, and high reliability can be achieved even in composite integration. . Furthermore, it is a maskless process method that does not require any conventional vapor deposition mask or screen printing mask. L.S.
By using this method, the proportion of connection parts between each element due to compounding in the entire panel can be reduced to 10% or less, generally 5.
We were able to reduce it to ~7%. Another feature is that high efficiency can be achieved at the panel level.
