- Mo metal molybdenum
- an excimer laser particularly a Kr-F excimer laser is used in the present embodiment, regardless of a mechanical scriber using a metal needle.

- it may be an Nd-YAG laser having a wavelength of 532 nm or less, and more preferably a fourth harmonic Nd-YAG laser (wavelength: 266 nm).
- Patterning P2 is patterning performed after the high-resistance buffer layer 14 is formed. In the formation of the pattern groove in the patterning P2, it is necessary to avoid the laser method and the mechanical scribing method using a metal needle because the light absorption layer 13 needs to absorb light and to prevent the film from being affected by heat. Is done.
- Patterning P3 is patterning performed after the window layer 15 is formed.
- the laser method is difficult to apply because the transparent conductive film configured as the window layer 15 is hard and transparent. Therefore, a mechanical scribing method using a metal needle is applied.
- the metal back electrode layer 12 is required to have adhesiveness with the light absorption layer 13, ease of patterning P1 by laser, and low resistivity.
- the adhesion to the light absorption layer 13 indicates that the light absorption layer 13 is required not to peel from the metal back electrode layer 12.
- the ease of patterning P1 by laser indicates that it is required to form one continuous linear pattern groove without disconnection when forming patterning P1.
- the low resistivity indicates that a resistance component that causes a decrease in power generation efficiency of the compound thin film solar cell 1 is required to be as small as possible.
- the point that the metal back electrode layer 12 is related to the low resistivity is that molybdenum (at the time of vapor phase selenization in the process of peeling the metal back electrode layer 12 and the light absorption layer 13 and forming the light absorption layer 13).

- the inventor of the present application described the metal back electrode layer as factors determining the adhesion to the light absorption layer 13 required for the metal back electrode layer 12, the ease of patterning P1 by laser, and the low resistivity as described above. Focusing on the surface shape of 12 and its film thickness, the correlation was verified.
- the metal back electrode layer 12 is produced by a DC sputtering method, and the inventors of the present application have found that the surface shape of the metal back electrode layer 12 changes depending on the film forming pressure of sputtering. That is, when the film forming pressure is low, the film density or the density of molybdenum (Mo) particles becomes high, so that the surface smoothness increases. On the other hand, when the film forming pressure is high, the film density on the surface of the film or the density of molybdenum (Mo) particles becomes small, so that the shape has many gaps.
- the metal back electrode layer 12 is produced by changing only the film forming pressure. An experiment for measuring the reflectance on the surface of the layer 12 was performed.
- FIG. 2 shows a patterning apparatus used for patterning P1.
- the patterning apparatus shown in FIG. 2 was used.
- the irradiation conditions of the patterning apparatus are as shown in Table 1, and the total reflection of the metal back electrode layer 12 at a position of a wavelength of 250 nm, which substantially coincides with the wavelength of 248 nm, is measured with a Kr-F excimer laser having a wavelength of 248 nm. did.
- Table 2 shows the film forming conditions of the metal back electrode layer 12 whose reflectance was measured in this experiment.
- the metal back electrode layer 12 in the present embodiment is formed in a three-layer structure, and is formed in order of 0.66 kW, 2.88 kW, 2.88 kW on the glass substrate 11. Is formed into a film.
- the thickness of each of the three layers of the metal back electrode layer 12 is about 90 nm, 360 nm, and 360 nm in order from the glass substrate 11 side, and the total thickness is 800 to 820 nm.
- FIG. 3 shows the measurement results of the reflectance of the metal back electrode layer 12 produced by changing only the film forming pressure under the above film forming conditions.
- the lower the film forming pressure the higher the reflectance. This indicates that when the film forming pressure is low, the film density or the density of molybdenum (Mo) particles is increased, and the smoothness of the surface is increased. In this regard, if the reflectance is too high, it is assumed that the energy density on the irradiated surface is reduced and patterning becomes difficult. Further, since the surface is smooth, the adhesion between the light absorption layer 13 and the metal back electrode layer 12 is lowered, and the light absorption layer 13 may be peeled off from the metal back electrode layer 12. Further, when the adhesion between the metal back electrode layer 12 and the light absorption layer 13 is poor, peeling occurs, a gap is formed between the joint surfaces of both layers, and the series resistance component increases.
- the reflectivity decreases as the film forming pressure increases.
- the film density or the density of molybdenum (Mo) particles is reduced, and the surface has a shape with many gaps.
- the shape having many gaps is effective for adhesion to the light absorption layer 13.
- the reflectance is too low, the reactivity with selenium (Se) increases during vapor phase selenization in the film forming process of the light absorption layer 13, and molybdenum selenide (MoSe 2 ) The layer is formed excessively.
- the molybdenum selenide (MoSe 2 ) layer causes an increase in the series resistance component and deteriorates the solar cell characteristics.
- FIG. 4 showing the correlation between the resistivity of the metal back electrode layer 12 and the reflectance, when the reflectance is less than 10%, the resistivity is very high and the solar cell characteristics are poor.
- the metal back electrode layer 12 having a reflectance in the range of 10% to 35% the resistivity is low, and the adhesion between the metal back electrode layer 12 and the light absorption layer 13 is low. It was revealed that a compound-based thin film solar cell 1 that is high and easy to pattern P1 can be obtained. From the above experimental results, it is clear that the metal back electrode layer 12 having a reflectance in the range of 10% to 35% can be formed at a film forming pressure of 20 mTorr or less.
- the film thickness is determined by the combination of the power applied to the sputtering target and the transport speed of the substrate. In this experiment, the experiment was performed by changing the transport speed.
- Table 3 shows the film forming conditions of the metal back electrode layer 12 in the film thickness evaluation experiment.
- the metal back electrode layer 12 is formed with a three-layer structure, and is formed at 0.66 kW, 2.88 kW, and 2.88 kW in the order of film formation on the glass substrate 11.
- Table 4 shows the contents of the metal back electrode layer 12 obtained under each film forming condition.
- the sheet resistance decreased as the film thickness increased. If the film thickness is in the range of 340 to 820 nm, the reflectance of the metal back electrode layer 12 belongs to the above-described reflectance of 10% or more and 35% or less, and the compound-based thin film solar that can obtain effective solar cell characteristics. It is clear that the battery 1 can be produced.
- Table 5 shows the characteristics of the compound thin film solar cell 1 produced using the metal back electrode layer 12 formed under each film forming condition.
- the patterning P1 tends to cause protrusions such as debris and burrs in the vicinity of the pattern groove, or a bridge that causes a short circuit inside the pattern groove. This problem can be solved by reducing the film thickness. Moreover, when making a film thickness thin, a conveyance speed will be raised and manufacturing efficiency will become high in a manufacturing process.
- the metal back electrode layer 12 having a film thickness of 800 nm or less and a reflectance of 35% or less can be cut.
- the metal back electrode layer 12 having a film thickness of 800 nm or less and a reflectance of 35% or less is manufactured, first, the glass substrate 11 is placed as a sample in a predetermined vacuum chamber, and molybdenum (Mo) is sputtered. After being arranged as a target, the inside of the vacuum chamber is evacuated. Then, an argon (Ar) gas is injected into the vacuum chamber at a gas flow rate of 60 to 70 sccm to keep the inside of the vacuum chamber in an atmosphere with a film forming pressure of 20 mTorr or less, and a pair of sputter electrodes disposed in the vacuum chamber.
- Mo molybdenum
- the metal back electrode layer 12 having a reflectance by laser of 35% or less is produced.
