Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a groove processing tool for manufacturing a chalcopyrite compound-based thin film solar cell. Here, the chalcopyrite compound includes, in addition to CIGS (Cu(In, Ga)Se2), a chalcopyrite compound such as CIGSS (Cu(In, Ga)(Se, S) 2), CIS (CuInS2). [Prior Art] In a thin film solar cell in which a chalcopyrite compound semiconductor is used as a light absorbing layer, "in general, it is an integrated structure in which a plurality of unit cells are connected in series on a substrate. A description will be given of a method of manufacturing a prior chalcopyrite compound-based thin film solar cell. Fig. 6 is a schematic view showing the manufacturing steps of a CIGS thin film solar cell. First, as shown in FIG. 6(a), an M〇 electrode layer 2 which becomes an electric gate of the lower side of the positive electrode side is formed on an insulating substrate including soda lime glass (SLG) by a sputtering method. By the scribe process, the trench s for the electrode separation is formed with respect to the thin film λ anode cell substrate before the formation of the light absorbing layer. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6(b), a light absorbing layer 3 containing a compound semiconductor (CIGS) film is formed on the (four) electric 'pole layer 2 by a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or the like, and is subjected to the CBD method. (Chemical bath deposition method) A buffer layer 4 containing a film or the like for heterojunction is formed, and a layer 5 containing a Zn ruthenium film is formed thereon. Then, the thin film solar cell before the formation of the transparent electrode layer is formed by the scribe process to form the contact between the electrodes of the pass electrode layer 2 at a position separated from the lower electrode by a certain distance in the lateral direction. Groove Ml of 146242.doc 201044623. = (4) shows a phase electrode layer 61 which is formed as a (10)··-converted power generation electrode from the insulating layer 5, which is formed by photo-processing: = solar cell substrate of each functional layer, by scribing On the past. The electrode separation trench M2 of the electrode layer 2. The step of manufacturing an integrated type thin film solar cell is described in the following paragraphs. As a dream, the groove (4) for separating the electrodes and the milk are used for the ditch: The technique has been the use of the laser scribing method and the mechanical scribing method. In addition, as disclosed in Document 1, the laser scribe method forms a trench for electrode separation by irradiating a laser beam excited by Nd:YAG crystal by a continuous discharge lamp of an electric lamp. When the method forms a groove with respect to the thin film solar cell substrate after the light absorbing layer is formed, the photoelectric conversion characteristics of the light absorbing layer 3 are deteriorated due to the heat of the laser light at the time of scribing. For example, as disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the mechanical scribing method is to apply a specific pressure to a blade edge of a groove forming tool such as a metal needle (needle) which is tapered toward the front end. The technique of processing the groove for electrode separation by moving the substrate on one side. This mechanical scribing method is currently used. [PRIOR ART DOCUMENT] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. JP-A No. 2002-94089 [Patent Document 2] Bulletin [Summary of the Invention] 146242.doc 201044623 [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The groove-assisted jade used in the prior mechanical scribing method includes those disclosed in Patent Reading 2 and Patent Document 3, and The front end is provided with a shape of a blade edge. The groove processing tool of such a shape is mounted and fixed. The cutting device is placed on the side of the battery. The predetermined line is moved relatively, thereby allowing the groove to be processed. Ο 沟槽 The groove processing tool formed by a single edge is used for disassembly or cutting of the blade. It is necessary to remove the grinding from the holder or replace it with new ones. It is troublesome to load and unload. Therefore, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a groove for a solar cell which can be easily replaced with a new blade edge without the need to replace the groove cutter when the blade edge is worn. In the case of the patent document 2 and the patent document 3, the mechanical scribe method of the knuckle of the syllabus is not the shape of the knives of the knives, and the shape of the knives of the knives is sharp and sharp, so that It is connected to the thin-film solar cell. The knife expands the contact area, and the spleen and the scorpion end are cut into a flat shape. The 'segment is formed as (f) the end of the kiss (10) and the frusto-conical shape of the façade. By using the front end portion as a frusto-conical grooved processing aid into the d' due to the contact surface with the substrate _ from the side of the contact area is large, the groove 2 can be relatively stable, if the groove depth of the processing is slightly deepened The contact area between the tapered surface of the frustoconical side and the substrate becomes larger when cutting. The resistance causes the film to be peeled off irregularly, and the part of the surface is reduced, and the characteristics and yield of the solar cell are lowered.虞 346242.doc 201044623 Therefore, a second object of the present invention is to provide a groove processing tool which can reduce the contact area of the blade with the substrate even when the groove depth of the process is slightly deepened. , 'A攸 is not prone to irregular peeling caused by frictional resistance. ^ v

Panyu m J Note (re-importantly) Therefore, it is necessary to fix the degree of peeling of the film. Therefore, the second groove-like processing worker of the present invention provides a film solar cell for use in the case of an already worn edge. By maintaining the line width of the scribe line in -grinding, Ύ ' 疋 and reusing it. [Technical means for solving the problem] In order to solve the above problem, the structure of the groove processing tool of the present invention: the integrated film of the present invention For the solar cell, ^ κ ^ , is a peripheral portion of the disk-shaped body, and the edges are unequal in the circumferential direction, and the plurality of concave portions and convex portions 4 are continuous, and the convex portion is The tangential line is formed by the edge. At least one of the corners is In order to solve the above problem, the groove processing of the battery is performed, and the planned line of the sun of the integrated type film of the present invention is along the edge of the solar cell substrate or the groove of the integrated type thin film solar cell substrate. g, one side of the scribe line is formed; and the groove handle /, relatively moved, and the solar cell processing tool is rotatably and fixedly mounted on the holder of the scribe device I46242.doc 201044623 In the outer peripheral portion of the disk-shaped main body, a plurality of concave portions and convex portions continuous in a gear shape are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and at least one of the corner portions in the tangential direction of the convex portion is used as the edge. The edge is disposed in the moving direction as follows: the movement of the groove is performed at the same time by a plurality of edges. ❹ ❹ According to the invention, the diameter of the disk-shaped body and the circumferential surface thereof are formed. The protruding height or the number of the convex portions is preset corresponding to the depth of the groove to be processed, whereby when the groove processing is performed, from the shallow portion to the deep portion of the groove, different 2-3 blades can be used. edge The method of cutting the film in order to prevent the frictional resistance from increasing. [Effect of the invention] The method for manufacturing a composite (four) film solar cell of the present invention, which is formed into a gear-like continuous convex portion during use. ^ The groove machining tool of the shape of the edge of the blade is arranged for the moving direction of the image, and the groove is machined at the same time. Therefore, the groove portion is gradually cut by a plurality of edges. The material that functions as the groove portion is cut by the edge of the upper edge of the upper side in the traveling direction by the resistance: the two edges are gradually cut, thereby reducing the groove=two: the film is not peeled off It will happen, = straight line and crepe scribe line. In addition, J can be turned into a disc-shaped body to rotate a specific degree of shaving, the following - a ^ knife defect, the processing part can be used, thereby eliminating the need to replace the groove The processing of the two edges into the groove is set to a new edge, which can eliminate the complicated operation of the replacement work, and early (for the solution of other problems and effects). 146242.doc 201044623, in a preferred embodiment, the left and right side faces of the convex portion of the groove processing tool are formed as a pair of mutually parallel faces. In this case, when the edge is worn, even if the top surface of the convex portion is polished, the size of the left and right widths of the blade does not change. Therefore, even after polishing, the groove width can be maintained before polishing. The same, by the way, all the edge wear, can be polished and repaired again.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the solid-type film of the solid type of the dicing device for a positive electrode of the present invention. The scribe device has a holding mechanism that can move in a substantially horizontal direction (γ direction) and can rotate 90 degrees in the horizontal plane and self-acoustic a _ , ten faces W . The solar cell substrate 20 is formed on the 咐 咐 : : : : : 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳 太阳The holder support body 23 is formed along the guide rail 22 formed on the V cup 21 along the guide ρ, and can be moved in the χ direction by the rotation of the motor 24. In the holder support body 23, the red 23 is placed with a scribe head 7, and under the kerf 7 is 146242.doc 201044623, a holder 9 is provided for holding on the platform 18 A groove processing tool 8 for dicing the film surface of the solar cell substrate W thereon. The holder 9 is set to an adjustable mounting angle, and by adjusting the mounting angle, the angle between the groove plus X tool 8 and the solar cell substrate w can be adjusted. Cameras 10 and U are provided on the pedestals 12 and 13 that are movable in the X direction and the γ direction. The pedestals 12, 13 are attached to the support table 13 and are moved along the guide 15 extending in the X direction. The camera 10, U can be manually operated Ο Ο move up and down to adjust the focus of the camera. The images taken with the cameras 1〇, U are displayed on the monitors 16 and 17. Half mounted on the solar cell substrate W on the stage 18, there are scribe lines which are formed by the steps in the month j and which can be viewed from the surface. When the solar cell substrate W is scribed in each step, the scribe line or the like formed in the previous step can be used as a mark for a specific dicing position = for example, 'under the scribed portion When the light-absorbing layer 3, the buffer layer 4, and the solar cell base (4) of the insulating layer 5 are formed on the electrode layer (Mo electrode layer) 2, when the trench for the upper and lower electrode contacts is formed, the pattern is formed on the upper and lower electrode layers 2 The line serves as a mark for the position of the (four) groove formation. That is, 曰 the position of the solar cell substrate W is adjusted by the imaging of the upper and lower electrode layers 2 by imaging m〇, u. Specifically, it is formed at a position where the bottom electrode of the solar cell substrate can be held on the platform 18 and the camera Μ1 is photographed to define a scribe line formed on the lower θ electrode layer 2. Based on the position formed at the lower electrode scribe line, the first 屮庑 屮庑 u u u s s 置 置 置 置 置 置 置 置 置 应 应 应 应 应 应 应 应 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下 上下% of the position of the battery substrate w, thereby adjusting the position of the 146242.doc 201044623. And each time the platform 18 is moved at a specific distance in the γ direction, the scribe head 7 is lowered, and the edge of the groove processing tool 8 is attached to the surface of the solar cell substrate W. The direction is moved to scribe the surface of the solar cell substrate W in the other direction. The surface of the solar cell substrate W is drawn in the x direction, and the flat (four) is rotated by 90 degrees to perform the same operation as described above. Next, the groove processing tool of the present invention will be described. 2 and 3 are 'showing the groove processing tool 8 of the present invention. Figure 2 is a side view, and Figure 3 is a front view. The groove processing tool 8 is formed in a gear-like continuous shape at equal intervals in the circumferential direction in a disk-shaped main portion (four) made of a hard material such as cemented carbide or diamond (sintered diamond (pCD)). A plurality of concave portions 82 and convex portions 83. The corner portion of the convex portion 83 in the tangential direction is formed as the blade edge 84. Further, at the center of the disc-shaped main body 81, an ampoule 85 for the holder 9 for the scribing device is provided, via which the rotatable and fixable mounting is carried out: the holding shown in Fig. 1 With 9. When the groove processing tool 8 is attached to the holder 9, as shown in FIG. 4, the blade edge 84 is disposed on the side in the traveling direction with respect to the solar cell substrate w, and has a plurality of blades, and the edge 'in this embodiment The groove is processed simultaneously with three edges. For this reason, the size and the number of the concave portion 82 and the convex portion 83 which are formed by the diameter of the disk-shaped main body 81 or its peripheral surface are set in advance so as to correspond to the depth or width of the groove to be processed. Specifically, for example, the diameter of the main body 81 is set to 丨2 to 2 mm, the thickness u 146242.doc -10- 201044623 is set to 20 μm to 1 mm, and the height H of the convex portion 83 is set to about 5 to 5 〇〇μηι. In the above configuration, as shown in Fig. 4, when the groove processing is performed, the film of the substrate W is gradually cut by a plurality of cutting edges 84. In other words, in the plurality of cutting edges that are in contact with the substrate, the blade is edged from the edge of the upper side in the forward direction of the traveling direction, and the edge is located on the lower side, thereby significantly reducing the groove. The frictional resistance during processing eliminates the occurrence of irregular film peeling and thus forms a straight and beautiful scribe line. 0 When the edge wear or the knife is missing, the disc-shaped main body 81 is rotated at a specific angle α so that the next new edge is located at the groove processing portion. In the case of this embodiment, since the cutting is performed by three cutting edges, the specific angle 〇1 when the position is changed to a new cutting edge is the angle of the three edge portions. According to the present invention, since the groove processing is performed simultaneously with a plurality of cutting edges, the film is gradually cut by a plurality of cutting edges 84. Among the plurality of cutting edges which are in contact with the groove portion, the cutting edge from the upper portion on the front side in the traveling direction is sequentially cut by the edge on the lower side. Thereby, the friction and the force during the processing of the groove can be reduced, and the peeling of the irregular film can be prevented, so that the straight line and the beautiful scribe line can be opened. Moreover, when the edge wear or the blade is used, the disk-shaped main body 81 is rotated by a specific angle so that the new 37 edge is located at the groove processing portion, thereby eliminating the need to replace the groove processing tool. , you can simply set up a new edge, which can eliminate the complexity of the replacement work. Fig. 5 is a view showing another embodiment of the groove processing of the present invention which is convex. The left and right side faces 83a, 83b of the cymbal 83 are formed to be opposite to each other in parallel. 146242.doc -11 - 201044623 In this embodiment, Yin, the edge wear surface, the left side of the knife is earned, because even if the size U of the top a of the polishing protrusion 83 does not change, even after grinding The groove can be widened, and all the edges can be ground and repaired when worn. In the embodiment of the stomach 4 =, the scribing head 7 is moved in the X direction, and the engraving process is performed. However, since the mouth is inspected by the mouth, the head 7 is relatively movable with the solar cell substrate 1 It can be used, so it is also possible to set the shape of the solar cell base (4) so that the scribe head 7 moves in the X direction and the γ-square 〜 门 门 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 、 Move in the 乂 direction and γ direction. The above has described a representative embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment. For example, the women's mechanism of the relative holder 9 of the groove Guarding Guard 8 can be used as long as the groove processing tool 8 can be rotated by a certain angle each time, and can be fixed at the set position. . Further, in the above embodiment, the corner portion of one of the convex portions is used as the blade edge 84', but the corner portions of both the right and left sides may be formed as the blade edge. In addition, within the scope of this patent, the appropriate modifications and changes may be made within the scope of the patent application. [Industrial Applicability] The present invention is applicable to a method of manufacturing an integrated thin film solar cell using a chalcopyrite compound-based semiconductor film, and is applicable to a trench processing tool which can be used in the method.
