Description
本發明係關於一種製造薄膜太陽電池時使用之槽加工工具及使用槽加工工具之槽加工方法以及槽加工裝置。 The present invention relates to a groove processing tool used in the manufacture of a thin film solar cell, a groove processing method using the groove processing tool, and a groove processing device.
在薄膜太陽電池，一般為在基板上串聯有複數個單元胞之積體型構造。作為薄膜太陽電池之一例，針對將黃銅礦化合物半導體用作光吸收層之黃銅礦化合物系薄膜太陽電池之製造方法進行說明。此外，黃銅礦化合物，除了CIGS(Cu(In,Ga)Se2)以外，亦包含CIGSS(Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2)、CIS(CuInS2)等。 In a thin film solar cell, an integrated structure in which a plurality of unit cells are connected in series on a substrate is generally used. As an example of a thin film solar cell, a method for producing a chalcopyrite compound-based thin film solar cell using a chalcopyrite compound semiconductor as a light absorbing layer will be described. Further, the chalcopyrite compound includes CIGSS (Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2), CIS (CuInS2), and the like in addition to CIGS (Cu(In,Ga)Se2).
圖7係顯示CIGS薄膜太陽電池之製程之示意圖。首先，如圖7(a)所示，在由鈉鈣玻璃(SLG)等構成之絕緣基板1上，藉由濺鍍法形成作為正側之下部電極之Mo電極層2後，對光吸收層形成前之薄膜太陽電池基板進行刻劃加工以形成下部電極分離用之槽S。 Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing the process of a CIGS thin film solar cell. First, as shown in FIG. 7(a), on the insulating substrate 1 made of soda lime glass (SLG) or the like, the Mo electrode layer 2 as the lower side electrode is formed by sputtering, and the light absorbing layer is applied. The thin film solar cell substrate before formation is scribed to form a groove S for separating the lower electrode.
之後，如圖7(b)所示，在Mo電極層2上藉由蒸鍍法、濺鍍法等形成由化合物半導體(CIGS)薄膜構成之光吸收層3，在其上藉由CBD法(化學水浴沉積法)形成用於異質接合之由ZnS薄膜等構成之緩衝層4，在其上形成由ZnO薄膜構成之絕緣層5。接著，對透明電極層形成前之薄膜太陽電池基板，在從下部電極分離用之槽S往橫方向離開既定距離之位置，藉由刻劃加工形成到達Mo電極層2之電極間接觸件用之槽M1。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7(b), a light absorbing layer 3 composed of a compound semiconductor (CIGS) film is formed on the Mo electrode layer 2 by a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or the like, and the CBD method is used thereon. Chemical bath deposition method) A buffer layer 4 made of a ZnS film or the like for heterojunction is formed, and an insulating layer 5 made of a ZnO thin film is formed thereon. Next, the thin film solar cell substrate before the formation of the transparent electrode layer is formed at a position separated from the groove S for separating the lower electrode by a predetermined distance in the lateral direction, and the electrode-to-electrode contact member reaching the Mo electrode layer 2 is formed by scribing. Slot M1.
接著，如圖7(c)所示，從絕緣層5之上形成由ZnO：Al薄膜構成之作為上部電極之透明電極層6，作為具備利用光電轉換之發電所需之各功能層之太陽電池基板，藉由刻劃加工形成到達下部之Mo電極層2之電極分離用之槽M2。 Next, as shown in FIG. 7(c), a transparent electrode layer 6 made of a ZnO:Al thin film as an upper electrode is formed on the insulating layer 5 as a solar cell having functional layers required for power generation by photoelectric conversion. On the substrate, a groove M2 for electrode separation reaching the lower Mo electrode layer 2 is formed by scribing.
在上述積體型薄膜太陽電池之製程，作為藉由刻劃對電極分離用之槽M1及M2進行槽加工之技術，使用雷射刻劃法與機械刻劃法。 In the process of the above-described integrated thin film solar cell, as a technique for performing groove processing by grooves M1 and M2 for electrode separation, a laser scribing method and a mechanical scribing method are used.
雷射刻劃法，例如專利文獻1所揭示，照射藉由電弧燈等連續放電燈使Nd：YAG結晶激發傳送之雷射光，藉此形成電極分離用之槽。此方法，對光吸收層形成後之薄膜太陽電池基板形成槽之情形，會有在刻劃時因雷射光之熱使光吸收層3之光電轉換特性劣化之虞。 In the laser scribing method, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the Nd:YAG crystal is excited by a continuous discharge lamp such as an arc lamp to excite the transmitted laser light, thereby forming a groove for electrode separation. According to this method, in the case where the thin film solar cell substrate after the formation of the light absorbing layer is formed into a groove, the photoelectric conversion characteristics of the light absorbing layer 3 are deteriorated by the heat of the laser light at the time of scribing.
機械刻劃法，例如專利文獻2及3所揭示，係對前端為尖細狀之金屬針(針)等之槽加工工具之刃尖施加既定壓力並使其按壓於基板且移動，藉此加工電極分離用之槽之技術。 In the mechanical scribe method, for example, as disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3, a predetermined pressure is applied to a blade edge of a groove processing tool such as a metal needle (needle) whose tip end is tapered, and is pressed against a substrate and moved. The technique of the groove for electrode separation.
專利文獻1：日本特開平11-312815號公報 Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 11-312815
專利文獻2：日本特開2002-94089號公報 Patent Document 2: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-94089
專利文獻3：日本特開2004-115356號公報 Patent Document 3: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-115356
專利文獻2及3所揭示之機械刻劃法中，槽加工工具之刃尖之形狀雖為尖細之針狀，但嚴格來說，為了使壓接於薄膜太陽電池之部分之接觸面積變廣，前端大致水平地切斷以呈平面。亦即，如圖8所示，前端部分為尖細之圓錐梯形。將此種形狀之槽加工工具8’按壓於應形成薄膜太陽電池基板之槽之薄膜(上下兩電極或光吸收層等之各種功能層)並同時 沿著刻劃預定線往Y方向相對移動，藉此進行槽加工。 In the mechanical scribing method disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the shape of the tip of the groove processing tool is a sharp needle shape, but strictly speaking, in order to widen the contact area of the portion bonded to the thin film solar cell The front end is cut substantially horizontally to be flat. That is, as shown in Fig. 8, the front end portion is a tapered conical trapezoid. The groove processing tool 8' of such a shape is pressed against a film (a plurality of functional layers such as upper and lower electrodes or a light absorbing layer) to form a groove of the thin film solar cell substrate, and simultaneously The groove machining is performed by moving relative to the Y direction along the predetermined line.
藉由使用前端部分尖細之圓錐梯形之槽加工工具，能較穩定地進行槽加工。另一方面，薄膜會不規則地大幅剝離，無須除去之部分亦被除去，會有太陽電池之性能及產率降低之問題點。 By using a tapered conical trapezoidal groove processing tool at the front end portion, the groove processing can be performed more stably. On the other hand, the film is peeled off irregularly, and the portion that does not need to be removed is also removed, which may cause problems in the performance and yield of the solar cell.
因此，本發明之目的在於提供一種在對薄膜太陽電池基板之光吸收層或電極膜等之各種功能層加工槽時，產率佳且可抑制光電轉換效率等之產品性能降低地加工之薄膜太陽電池之槽加工工具及使用此槽加工工具之槽加工方法以及槽加工裝置。 In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a film sun which is excellent in productivity and can suppress the deterioration of product properties such as photoelectric conversion efficiency when processing grooves of various functional layers such as a light absorbing layer or an electrode film of a thin film solar cell substrate. A cell processing tool for a battery, a groove processing method using the groove processing tool, and a groove processing device.
為了解決上述課題，本發明之薄膜太陽電池用之槽加工工具，由棒狀之本體與形成在本體前端之圓錐梯狀之刃尖區域構成；刃尖區域具有底面與從底面朝向本體延伸之側面；藉由底面與側面形成之角部構成刃尖；從底面朝向本體變細地形成。 In order to solve the above problems, the groove processing tool for a thin film solar cell of the present invention comprises a rod-shaped body and a conical stepped blade tip region formed at a front end of the body; the blade tip region has a bottom surface and a side extending from the bottom surface toward the body The corner formed by the bottom surface and the side surface constitutes a blade edge; the bottom surface is formed to be thinner toward the body.
又，為了解決上述課題，本發明之薄膜太陽電池之槽加工方法，係沿著薄膜太陽電池基板之刻劃預定線，以槽加工工具之刃尖按壓並同時使太陽電池基板與槽加工工具相對移動，在太陽電池基板之薄膜形成刻劃線，其特徵在於：使用本發明之槽加工工具，將槽加工工具之底面按壓於薄膜太陽電池基板之表面以進行槽加工。 Further, in order to solve the above problems, the groove processing method of the thin film solar cell of the present invention is performed by cutting a predetermined line along the thin film solar cell substrate, pressing the blade tip of the groove processing tool, and simultaneously making the solar cell substrate and the groove processing tool Moving, a thin line is formed on the film of the solar cell substrate, and the bottom surface of the groove processing tool is pressed against the surface of the thin film solar cell substrate to perform groove processing using the groove processing tool of the present invention.

The scratching is performed in the state of the surface of the battery substrate.
根據本發明之槽加工工具，由於刃尖區域從按壓於薄膜太陽電池基板之底面朝向本體變細地形成，因此從基板除去後之薄膜順暢地往 本體側排出，不會受到除去後之薄膜之影響，可形成膜剝離較少之刻劃線。 According to the groove processing tool of the present invention, since the blade edge region is formed to be thinned from the bottom surface of the thin film solar cell substrate toward the body, the film removed from the substrate smoothly flows toward The main body side is discharged, and is not affected by the film after the removal, and a scribe line having a small peeling of the film can be formed.

根據本發明，刃尖區域82從按壓於薄膜太陽電池基板W之底面83朝向本體81變細地形成，因此從基板除去後之薄膜順暢地往本體側排出，不會受到除去後之薄膜之影響，可形成膜剝離較少之刻劃線。 According to the invention, the blade edge region 82 is formed to be thinner from the bottom surface 83 pressed against the thin film solar cell substrate W toward the body 81, so that the film removed from the substrate is smoothly discharged toward the body side without being affected by the removed film. It can form a score line with less peeling of the film.
圖5係比較以往之加工工具所形成之刻劃線與本發明之槽 加工工具所形成之刻劃線之影像資料。圖5(a)係顯示使用習知槽加工工具形成之刻劃線，圖5(b)係顯示使用本發明之槽加工工具形成之刻劃線。在使用本發明之槽加工工具形成刻劃線之情形，與習知例相較，明顯地可形成一定寬度且漂亮之刻劃線。 Figure 5 is a comparison of the scribe line formed by the conventional processing tool and the groove of the present invention. The image data of the scribe line formed by the processing tool. Fig. 5(a) shows a scribe line formed using a conventional groove processing tool, and Fig. 5(b) shows a scribe line formed using the groove processing tool of the present invention. In the case where the scribe line is formed using the groove processing tool of the present invention, it is apparent that a certain width and a beautiful scribe line can be formed as compared with the conventional example.
此外，上述實施例中，藉由使刻劃頭7往X方向移動以執行刻劃加工，但只要刻劃頭7與太陽電池基板W能相對移動即可，因此在太陽電池基板W固定之狀態下使刻劃頭7往X方向或Y方向移動亦可，不使刻劃頭7移動而僅使太陽電池基板W往X方向或Y方向移動亦可。 Further, in the above embodiment, the scribing head 7 is moved in the X direction to perform the scribing process, but as long as the scribing head 7 and the solar cell substrate W can relatively move, the solar cell substrate W is fixed. The scribe head 7 may be moved in the X direction or the Y direction, and the solar cell substrate W may be moved only in the X direction or the Y direction without moving the scribe head 7.
以上，說明本發明之代表實施例，但本發明並不僅限於上述實施例之構造。為了達成其目的，在不脫離申請專利範圍之情況下可適當地進行修正、變更。 The representative embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above embodiments. In order to achieve the objective, modifications and changes may be made as appropriate without departing from the scope of the patent application.
本發明可適用於薄膜太陽電池之製造所使用之槽加工工具、槽加工方法及槽加工裝置。 The present invention is applicable to a groove processing tool, a groove processing method, and a groove processing device used in the manufacture of a thin film solar cell.
