Abstract

862,117. Semi-conductor devices. UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION. Dec. 31, 1959, No. 44381/59. Class 37. During the manufacture of a silicon solar energy cell, Fig. 1, a disc 14 of N-type silicon, aluminium plated on one surface is fused on the opposite surface to a tin electrode disc 16 and on the same surface to an aluminium ring 12 surmounted by a tin ring 10. The aluminium plating is produced by vaporizing a piece of aluminium resting on a heated filament in an atmospheric of 10-<SP>4</SP> mm. of Hg. The components shown in Fig. 1 are then assembled on a graphite slab with a weight on the stack. The whole is then placed in a cool section of a furnace to flush out adhering gases and then moved into a section at 960‹ C. flushed with argon where it remains for 9 minutes. Next the assembly is returned to the cool part of the furnace to allow the molten contacts to solidify. A cross-section of the device is shown in Fig. 3. The PN junction is formed by the penetration of the aluminium film into the silicon to a depth of 0.7 microns.
