SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENT, ESPECIALLY A SOLAR CELL, AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

A semiconductor component, having a semiconductor base material (40) of iron pyrites, is new. A semiconductor component has a single crystal or polycrystalline semiconductor base material (40) with p-type and n-type layers (52, 53), the base material comprising a purified FeS2 layer (51). An Independent claim is also included for production of the above semiconductor component, in which the base material comprises natural pyrites or a synthetic FeS2.
