Abstract:
In the manufacture of a solar battery having a structure in which at least two semiconductor thin-films are disposed one over the other between a pair of electrodes, each semiconductor thin-film differing from the other in the impurity concentration thereof and/or the type of semiconductor, the formation of at least one of the semiconductor thin-films comprises a step of coating a liquid coating composition containing a silicon compound so as to form a coating film and a step of converting the coating film into a silicon film by heat treatment and/or light treatment.
Abstract:
A solution containing a cyclic silane compound, which does not contain carbon, and/or a silane compound modified by boron or phosphorus is applied onto a substrate and a silicon precursor film is formed, and the film is then transformed into semiconductor silicon by heat and/or light treatment. Thereby, it is possible to easily produce a silicon film having satisfactory characteristics as an electronic material at low costs, differing from the vacuum process, such as in CVD methods.
Abstract:
An ink composition 11 containing a silicon precursor is selectively discharged into predetermined regions on a substrate from an ink jet head 12 to form a pattern of the silicon precursor, and is subjected to a heat and/or light treatment to convert the silicon precursor into an amorphous silicon film 15 or a polycrystalline silicon film 16. A silicon film pattern is thereby obtained on a large area at low cost with low energy.
Abstract:
A solar cell has a structure comprising a pair of electrodes between which are interposed at least two thin layers of semiconductor containing different types and/or concentrations of impurity. A process of producing the thin semiconductor layers comprises applying a silicide-containing liquid composition to a substrate to form a coating, and converting the coating to a silicon layer by heat treatment and/or photochemical processing.

Abstract:
A method for forming a silicon film which comprises discharging an ink composition (11) selectively onto a predetermined region of a substrate using an ink jet head (12) to form a pattern of a silicon precursor, and then subjecting the pattern to a treatment by heat and/or light to convert the silicon precursor to an amorphous silicon film or a poly-crystal silicon film. The method can be used for providing a silicon film pattern on a large area portion of a substrate with saving energy with a low cost.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve characteristics of photoelectric converters by nanoparticles (quantum dots), where granular core parts are covered with shell parts. SOLUTION: The photoelectric converter includes a photoelectric conversion layer (7), where a plurality of nanoparticles (d) are contained in a first material (7a) in a dispersion state. In the photoelectric converter, the nanoparticles (d) include a second granular material (c) and a third material (s) for covering the second material (c). A band gap E3 of the third material (s) is larger than a gap E1 of the first material (7a), and is larger than a band gap E2 of the second granular material (c). By this configuration, a quantum well is formed by the band gap of the third material covering the second material, and charge in the quantum well can be taken out easily by tunneling the third material, and hence achieving the photoelectric converter having high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
