ーミック性が良いpn接合又はnp接合を有する半導体
部を含有する半導体装置の製造方法に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device containing a semiconductor portion having a pn junction or an np junction with good ohmic properties.
オーミック性が良いpn接合又はnp接合が要求される
ものの例として、いわゆるタンデム型のアモルファスシ

び同58−116779参照)。An example of a device that requires a pn junction or an np junction with good ohmic properties is a so-called tandem type amorphous silicon solar cell (see Japanese Patent Publications No. 55-125680 and No. 58-116779).

良の為、太陽電池の出力特性の性能に問題があった。The structure of this solar cell is usually a glass substrate/transparent electrode/
It is composed of pin/pin/.../metal electrodes, and the pin photoelectric conversion elements are stacked in two or more stages and electrically connected in series. Therefore, it is important to reduce the resistance of the p and n layers and to improve the ohmic properties of the pn junction. The conventionally used p-layer has a high resistance of about 10 Ω·cm, and the n-layer has a high resistance of 10 to 1 Ω·cm, which causes problems in the output characteristics of solar cells due to series resistance and poor ohmic properties.
本発明の目的は、かかる従来の問題点を解決し、pn接
合層の低抵抗化とpn接合部のオーミック性向上を形成
できる半導体装置の製造方法を提供することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that solves the conventional problems and can lower the resistance of the pn junction layer and improve the ohmic properties of the pn junction.

オーミック性を向上させる方法として熱処理法がある。Conventionally, there is a heat treatment method as a method for realizing lower resistance of a semiconductor film and improving ohmic properties of a pn junction.

れば実質的に短時間の熱処理が可能である。However, in the case of an amorphous film, long-term heat treatment using a normal electric furnace causes the non-doped active layer to change in quality and deteriorate the solar cell performance. In order to solve this problem, the present invention uses a short-time heat treatment method using a laser in which the heat treatment time is 1 second or less. Lasers include pulsed lasers and CW lasers, and in the case of CW, heat treatment can be performed in a substantially short time if the scanning speed is increased.

There were known examples in which amorphous silicon was used for such long wavelength light, but since the absorption coefficient of the amorphous silicon model was small and the light was absorbed by the entire film, it was difficult to treat only extremely thin p and n films. I couldn't do it. Therefore, good solar cell performance has not been obtained.
