Title:
MANUFACTURE OF PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3363504
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To obtain a photovoltaic device high in reproducibility by a method wherein an electric power in a specific range of low frequency is applied to an I-type non-single crystal semiconductor layer kept at a specific temperature or below to generate a glow discharge plasma, and a direct current voltage is applied to form an I/P or an I/N semiconductor junction keeping the semiconductor layer at a negative potential.
CONSTITUTION: An I-type non-single crystal semiconductor layer 103 is kept at a temperature of 200°C or below, electric power of low frequencies of 1 to 1000kHz is supplied to it to generate a glow discharge plasma. A direct current voltage (50 to 100V) is applied keeping the I-type non-single crystal semiconductor layer 103 at a negative potential, whereby an I/P or an I/N semiconductor junction is formed. By this setup, a photovoltaic device of large area uniform in characteristics can be obtained high in reproducibility.
