<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a joining method capable of joining a substrate made of material having a coefficient of linear thermal expansion different from that of a glass substrate, for example a metallic substrate to the glass substrate without generating deformation caused by difference in thermal expansion, appropriately utilized especially in the manufacture of a dye-sensitized solar cell. <P>SOLUTION: In the method joining a metallic substrate 11 having the coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of a glass substrate 10 to the glass substrate 10, a thermoplastic resin layer 13 is formed on the surface of the metallic substrate 11, and while the glass substrate 10 is pressed against the metallic substrate 11 in such a state that the thermoplastic resin layer 13 is interposed between them, and the thermoplastic resin layer 13 is melt-bonded to the surface of the glass substrate 10 by noncontact heating of laser light irradiation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
