Method of making thin film device

摘要

A thin film device such as an amorphous thin film solar battery is easily made with high integration by use of metal-diffused regions in the thin film as an electrical connection region across the thickness of the thin film. By use of such metal-diffused regions 24, 24 . . . for connection between transparent stripe shaped electrodes 21', 21'. . . disposed between glass substrate 20 and amorphous silicon thin film 23 and stripe shaped metal electrodes 25, 25 . . . on the top surface of the thin film 23, series connected solar battery cells can be made with a small number of process steps.
