て、この特性の低下がいちぢるしい。 Solar cells are used outdoors and exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore, if a solar cell is used in a bare state, rain and dust will adhere to the surface of the solar cell, contaminating the surface and significantly reducing its performance. To prevent this deterioration of characteristics, bare solar cells are usually molded into resin. However, when this bare solar cell is molded into resin, its photoelectric conversion efficiency often decreases. Although the cause of this is not clear, the deterioration of this characteristic is particularly noticeable in solar cells using compound semiconductors.

る。 The present invention is based on the discovery that when a solar cell whose performance has been degraded due to resin embedding is heat treated in an inert atmosphere, its performance is improved. According to the method of the present invention, since the solar cell element is embedded in the resin, there is no contamination of its surface, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the element is increased by heat treatment after molding, so the lifetime characteristics are improved. It is possible to realize solar cells with high performance.
以下、本発明の方法について、実施例にもとづ

であり、その変換効率は９％であつた。Example 1 A cadmium sulfide paste was prepared by adding 7% of cadmium chloride as a flux and 20 to 30% of propylene glycol as a binder to cadmium sulfide powder and mixing them in an agate mortar. This was printed on a glass substrate by screen printing. After drying, it was placed in a sintering container and sintered in a belt furnace in nitrogen at 630° C. for 1 hour.
A nickel electrode was formed on a portion of the obtained sintered cadmium sulfide film by a plating method to form an electrode on the cadmium oxide side. Next, after masking this nickel electrode part, the cadmium sulfide sintered film is immersed in a copper sulfate solution to create a space between the copper plate anode and the cadmium sulfide sintered film (cathode) that is large enough to prevent metallic copper from precipitating. A weak current was applied for 1 hour. As a result, a p-type copper sulfide layer was formed on the surface of the cadmium sulfide sintered film, and a pn junction was formed. Then, a silver electrode paint was applied to the entire surface of the p-type copper sulfide layer to form an electrode on the copper sulfide layer side. Then, after heat treatment for 30 minutes at a temperature of 250°C in nitrogen gas,
Lead wires were connected to the electrodes on the cadmium sulfide side and the copper sulfide side to complete the solar cell element. This element was configured to allow sunlight to enter from the glass substrate side, and its conversion efficiency was 9%.

換効率の向上は小さい。 The solar cell element obtained as described above was placed in epoxy resin and heated in air at a temperature of 90°C.
It was heated for 30 minutes to cure. This treatment reduced the conversion efficiency to 8.5%. Next, the resin-embedded solar cell was heat-treated in nitrogen at a temperature of 220°C for 30 minutes. This heat treatment improved the conversion efficiency of the solar cells to 9.5%. In addition, when similar heat treatment was performed in the air after embedding the resin, the coating resin turned yellowish brown, its light transmittance deteriorated, and the conversion efficiency of the solar cell decreased. Also, the heat treatment temperature in nitrogen is
A temperature of 180°C to 280°C is effective, and the improvement in conversion efficiency is small outside this range.

After attaching gallium electrodes and copper electrodes and connecting lead wires, heat treatment was performed in nitrogen at a temperature of 250° C. for 30 minutes. The conversion efficiency of the bare solar cell element thus obtained was 8%. Next, this solar cell element was embedded in epoxy resin and heated in air at a temperature of 90°C for 30 minutes to harden the resin. This treatment reduced the solar cell replacement efficiency to 7%. This solar cell was then heat treated at a temperature of 300° C. for 15 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere. Although the resin was slightly deformed by this heat treatment, the color hardly changed, and the conversion efficiency after heat treatment was 9.3%, making it possible to obtain a highly efficient solar cell. An effective heat treatment temperature in nitrogen is 250°C to 320°C, and the improvement in conversion efficiency is small outside this range.

のと考えられる。 Although it is not clear why the efficiency of the solar cell is unexpectedly higher than that of a bare solar cell due to the treatment after resin embedding, oxygen This is thought to be due to complete shielding, no surface contamination, and improved compatibility between the resin and the solar cell surface.

Since the solar cell element is embedded in the resin and then heat treated in an inert atmosphere, it is possible to obtain a solar cell with efficiency equal to or better than that before embedding in the resin.
