Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve appearance, to enhance water resistance and to elevate reliability by screen-printing an epoxy resin, the molecular weight of a principal ingredient of which extends over 2000-3000, to a naked CdS/CdTe photovoltaic element and thermally treating the photosensor for two hr at 120 deg.C. CONSTITUTION:A CdTe sintered film 3 is formed onto a CdS sintered film 2, and a carbon film 4 is shaped onto the sintered film 3. AgIn films 5, 6 as ohmic electrodes are each formed onto the sintered film 2 and the carbon film 4. An epoxy resin, the molecular weight of a principal ingredient of which extends over 2000-3000, is screen-printed to an element acquired in this manner, and thermally treated for two hr at 120 deg.C. Accordingly, appearance is improved, water resistance is enhanced and reliability can be elevated.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, conventional screen-printable epoxy resins have low viscosity and thixotropy, and during the drying process after screen printing, they soak into the underlying carbon electrode layer, causing unevenness of the underlying carbon electrode layer. appears, resulting in poor appearance, and in extreme cases, the carbon electrode may become exposed as the film thickness becomes thinner. For this reason, moisture etc. easily entered the cell, and exposure to light caused an electrochemical reaction between CdS and CdTe, resulting in a deterioration of the maximum output by about 30%.
