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), CIGSS (Cu(In, Ga)(Se, S) 2), CIS (CuInS2), and the like. [Previous technique] In a thin film solar cell in which a chalcopyrite compound semiconductor is used as a light absorbing layer, an integrated structure in which a plurality of unit cells are connected to each other on a substrate is generally used. A description will be given of a method of manufacturing a prior chalcopyrite compound-based thin film solar cell. Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing the manufacturing steps of a CIGS thin film solar cell. First, as shown in Fig. 7 (4), after the electrode layer 2 on the lower surface of the positive electrode side is formed on the insulating substrate of a glass containing sodium (SLG) or the like by a sputtering method, the light is absorbed by the scribe process. The thin film solar cell substrate before the layer formation forms a trench s for separating the lower electrode. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7(b), a light absorbing layer 3 containing a compound semiconductor (CIGS) film is formed on the core electrode layer 2 by a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or the like, and by the CBD method (chemistry) The bath deposition method) forms an insulating layer 5 including a buffer layer 4' for a heterojunction W film or the like and on which a Zn〇 film is formed. Then, for the thin film solar cell before the formation of the transparent electrode layer, the groove s for separating from the lower electrode is formed at a position laterally apart from the specific distance by scribing to form M. The electrode between the electrodes 2 is in contact with the groove M1. 146243.doc 201115752 Next, as shown in FIG. 7(c), a transparent electrode layer 6' including an upper electrode of a film of 211::1 is formed from the insulating layer 5 as a function necessary for power generation by photoelectric conversion. The solar cell substrate of the layer is formed by etching to form the electrode separation trench M2 of the Mo electrode layer 2 at the lower portion. In the above-described step of manufacturing an integrated type thin film solar cell, as a technique for groove-treating the trenches M1 and M2 for electrode separation by scribe processing, laser scribing and mechanical scribing have hitherto been used. law. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the laser scribing method is to irradiate the laser light emitted by the excitation of the Nd:YAG crystal by a continuous discharge lamp such as an arc lamp to form a trench for electrode separation. In this method, when a groove is formed in the thin film solar cell substrate after the formation of the light absorbing layer, 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 a knife for a groove processing tool such as a metal needle (needle) having a tapered front end, and a specific pressure is applied to one side. A technique of processing a groove for electrode separation by moving it against a substrate. At present, the mechanical scribing is used. [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2002-94089 (Patent Document 3) JP-A-2002-94089 (Patent Document 3) [Invention] [Invention] Problems to be Solved] The groove processing tool used in the conventional mechanical scribing method includes those disclosed in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, and is provided with a blade shape in the case of the main body. Composition. The grooved and daily processing tool of such a shape is mounted and fixed. 146243.doc 201115752 The film solar cell is fixed to the scribe device, and the surface is cut along the stencil=...for thin groove processing. W pre-line relative movement, which can be used: the groove processing tool formed by the tip of the boring tool, due to the use of =,: in the case of defect, it is necessary to remove the grinding from the holder every time Or replace the new product, loading and unloading is really troublesome. Groove force =, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a groove for a solar cell i which can be easily replaced with a new tool tip when the tool tip is worn, without having to replace the groove processing tool itself T. According to the mechanical scribe method disclosed in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, the shape of the blade tip of the tool is a needle shape having a tapered front end, and is rigorously crimped to a part of the expanded contact area of the thin film solar cell. It is to cut off ^ ^ into a flat shape. That is, as shown in Fig. 8, the tip end blade ' is a frustoconical shape having a tapered surface of the tapered front end. ^When the wear is made, the groove processing tool can be reused from the hold 1 although it is economical, but if the front end portion is frustoconical 2: = the diameter of the tool tip is changed. In the solar cell substrate I, the line width of the scribe line is maintained constant, which is important for achieving the desired quality (photoelectric conversion efficiency, etc.) of the product and improving the uniformity (reproducibility) of the quality, and therefore must be fixed _ The degree of peeling. A second object of the present invention is to provide a processing tool for a thin film solar cell which can be reused by maintaining the line width of the scribed line by grinding. [Technical means for solving the problem] 146243.doc 201115752 The groove processing tool for an integrated type thin film solar cell of the present invention which is completed to solve the above problem is constituted by being circumferentially spaced apart from the outer periphery of the disk-shaped body. The equal interval 'multiple sets are provided with a plurality of cutting edges with the cutting edge facing the tangential direction, and the groove can be processed by any one of the cutting edges. [Effect of the Invention] The groove processing tool of the integrated thin solar battery of the present invention, when the blade wear or the blade defect is in use, 'just rotate the disk-shaped body by a specific angle so that the next new blade is located in the groove. The processing position is sufficient, so that a new cutting edge can be simply set without changing the groove processing tool itself, thereby eliminating the cumbersome replacement work. (Means and Effects for Solving Other Problems) The blade is preferably provided with a notch of a blade surface along the radial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the main body, and a corner formed by the outer peripheral surface and the blade surface of the main body becomes a knife A sharp way to form. Thereby, the blade tip can be smoothly contacted and peeled off by the contact with the substrate 1 during the groove processing, so that the line can be formed in a straight line and a beautiful scribe line. Further, the grooved processing worker 1 is 77 rr 乂, and the left and right sides of the end portion of the θ eight blade are preferably formed to be opposite to each other. Therefore, when the blade edge is worn, even if the top surface of the blade is polished, that is, the size of the left and right widths of the blade surface does not change, ^ even after grinding, the groove width can be scribed. Maintained in the same way as the research. Therefore, all the sharp points of the sharpening point can be grinded and repaired, and then the grooved processing tool is preferably made of super hard alloy or diamond 146243.doc. 201115752 (sintered diamond (PCD), etc.) is formed. As a result, since the life of the tool is long and there is little deformation, the scribing process can be performed with good precision for a long period of time. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings showing embodiments of the present invention. First, the overall configuration of the scriber for installing the groove processing tool of the present invention will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a sculpt device for an integrated type solar cell using the groove processing tool of the present invention.

The location. The position of the solar cell substrate w is adjusted based on the position of the scribe line formed at the lower electrode layer, and the position (the position at which the groove for contact of the upper and lower electrodes is to be formed) is estimated, thereby adjusting the cutting position. And 'moving the platform (4) at a specific distance in the Y direction, the cutting head 7 is lowered, and the blade processing tool 8 is lost in the state of pressing against the surface of the solar cell 146243.doc 201115752. Moving in the direction of the χ, the surface of the solar cell substrate is scribed in the X direction. When the surface/α of the solar cell substrate W is scribed in the Y direction, the stage 18 is rotated by 90 degrees, and the same operation as described above is performed. The following is a description of the groove processing tool of the present invention. 2 to 4 show a groove processing tool 8 which is an example of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view, Fig. 3 is a front view, and Fig. 4 is a side view. The groove processing tool 8 is formed in a disk shape made of a hard material such as cemented carbide or diamond, and the outer circumference # of the body 81 is provided in the circumferential direction at a plurality of intervals in the present embodiment. Knife area 82. The blade region 82 is formed such that the notch 84 5 forming the blade surface 83 along the radial direction of the main body 81 is placed on the outer periphery of the main body 81 so that the corner formed by the outer peripheral surface of the main body and the blade face 83 becomes the blade edge 85. The way is formed. Further, in the disc-shaped main body 1, "the mounting hole 86 for the holder 9 attached to the scribing device is placed, and the holder is attached to the holder in a rotatable and fixable manner via the ? 9. When the tool 8 is attached to the holder 9, as shown in Fig. 6, the groove machining edge 85 is disposed on the side of the traveling direction with respect to the solar cell substrate w, and groove processing is performed by any one of the cutting edges. The left and right width L1 of the top of the region 82 is preferably 5G to 6G _, but the groove width corresponding to the desired scribe may be set to 25 to 8 〇 _... The diameter of the disk-shaped body 81 is set to, for example, (4) _, thickness L2 is set to - mm 'the height η of the blade face 83 is set to about 5 〇 to 5 _. In the above configuration, the groove processing tool 8 is attached to the holder 9 to perform the groove 146243.doc 201115752, and the blade edge 85 is relatively When the substrate W is in contact with the line W in the rear direction, and the thin groove processing is smoothly peeled off, as shown in FIG. 4 (the line is in contact with the film of the paper surface of FIG. 4, a linear and beautiful scribe line can be formed... When the groove machining tool 8 is installed, 'as shown in FIG. 5' to make the blade face 83 of the blade region 82 Mounting is performed in a posture in which the substrate W is slightly inclined toward the traveling direction side, whereby the blade edge 85 can be surely brought into contact with the substrate W by a line (four), and the film can be peeled off by peeling off. Further, the blade tip 85 is worn or knife in use. In the case of a defect, the disk-shaped body is rotated and fixed so that the next new blade edge is located at the groove processing portion. In the case of the present embodiment, since the number of blade regions 82 formed at equal intervals is four, Therefore, when the position is replaced with a new tool tip, the rotation angle is %. This makes it possible to easily set a new tool tip without replacing the groove machining tool, thereby solving the cumbersome replacement work. Another embodiment of the groove processing of the present invention is such that the left and right side faces 82a, 82b of the blade portion 82 including the tip end portion of the blade edge 85 are formed to be opposite to each other in parallel with each other. At the time of abrasion of 85, even if the size of the left and right widths of the top surface of the grinding blade region 82, that is, the outer surface of the main body 81, the knife blade region 82 does not change, the groove width can be scribed even after grinding. Maintained with It is the same before the polishing, and can be used again after the blade tip is worn and repaired. In the above embodiment, 'the scribe head 7 is moved in the χ direction, thereby performing the scribe process', but since only the scribe is performed The head 7 and the solar cell substrate W can be relatively moved. Therefore, the 146243.doc 201115752 scribe head 7 can be moved in the X direction and the γ direction while the solar cell substrate W is fixed, or the scribe head 7 can be moved without moving. However, only the solar cell substrate w is moved in the X direction and the γ direction. Although the representative embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the groove processing tool 8 The mounting mechanism of the holder 9 can be used as long as the groove processing tool 8 can be rotated by a specific angle each time and can be fixed at the set position. Further, the present invention can be appropriately modified or changed within the scope of the invention as long as it can be achieved (4). [Industrial Applicability] The present invention is applicable to a groove processing tool used in the production of an integrated thin film solar cell using a chalcopyrite compound-based semiconductor film.
