Thin-film semiconductor device and its manufacturing method and apparatus and thin-film semiconductor solar cell module and its manufacturing method

摘要

A method for manufacturing a thin-film semiconductor device configured to form the thin-film semiconductor device on a first substrate and thereafter transfer the thin-film semiconductor device from the first substrate to a second substrate, comprises the steps of: forming a porous layer containing a separation layer on the first substrate; forming the thin-film semiconductor device on the porous layer; and after bonding the second substrate different from the first substrate in contraction coefficient by cooling onto the thin-film semiconductor device, cooling the product by cooling means to produce a shear stress in the separation layer in the porous layer and to separate the thin-film semiconductor device from the first substrate along the separation layer. Another method for manufacturing a thin-film semiconductor device comprises the steps of: forming a porous layer containing a separation layer on the first substrate; forming the thin-film semiconductor device on the porous layer; and after bonding the second substrate onto the thin-film semiconductor device, irradiating an ultrasonic wave to separate the thin-film semiconductor device from the first substrate along the separation layer.
