<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photovoltaic device having high performance when compared with a conventional solar cell, and to provide a method for manufacturing the photovoltaic device at a low cost. <P>SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a photovoltaic device, to a metal contact arranged in a photovoltaic device such as a photocell, and to a manufacturing process for forming the metal contact. The metal contact contains a palladium germanium alloy formed at a low temperature during an annealing process. In some embodiments, the photocell is heated at a temperature of about 20 to about 275°C, e.g. at about 150°C, for about 30 minutes during the annealing process. In another embodiment, the photocell is heated at a temperature of about 150 to about 275°C for at least about 0.5 minutes during the annealing process. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
