MANUFACTURING PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICES

摘要

Photoelectric conversion devices are manufactured at high yield by repairing the devices during the final steps of the manufacuturing process. Short current paths resulting from the formation process of semiconductor layers can be eliminated by applying a reverse voltage to the layers, which thus are heated and made insulating. After the elimination of the short current paths, the reverse current no longer passes beyond 15 mA on a reverse voltage of 8 V.
