A method and apparatus for dividing into cells, a thin film device which may be a solar cell, lighting panel or battery; the device having a first layer which is a lower electrode layer, a second layer which is an active layer and a third layer which is an upper electrode layer, the layers each being continuous over the device; the dividing of the cells and the electrical series connection between adjacent cells to be carried out in series of passes of a process head across the device, the process head performing both the respective cutting and filling steps, the steps allowing formation of isolating insulator 10 in three layer cut 6; cell bridging conductor 13 connecting the lower electrode in one cell with the upper electrode in the adjacent cell, over the isolating insulator 10, in upper two-layer cut 7; and single layer cut 8 in the upper electrode; where the insulator and conductor are provided by ink-jet printing, the process head performing at least two of the steps each on separate interconnects. |
