  • Method of manufacturing a metallic silicide transparent electrode
    Patent number: 5151385
    Abstract: A semiconductor device such as a solar cell, photodiode and solid state imaging device comprises a semiconductor layer made of amorphous silicon formed on a given substrate, and a transparent conductive layer formed by an interfacial reaction between the amorphous silicon and a metallic film directly formed on the amorphous silicon. This transparent conductive layer is used as a transparent electrode of the device and if necessary the remainder after having partially removed the metallic film for the transparent conductive layer is used as a conductive layer and light shielding film.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 1988
    Date of Patent: September 29, 1992
    Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.
    Inventors: Hideaki Yamamoto, Koichi Seki, Toshihiro Tanaka, Akira Sasano, Toshihisa Tsukada, Yasuharu Shimomoto, Toshio Nakano, Hideto Kanamori
  • Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 4788582
    Abstract: A semiconductor device such as a solar cell, photodiode and solid state imaging device comprises a semiconductor layer made of amorphous silicon formed on a given substrate, and a transparent conductive layer formed by an interfacial reaction between the amorphous silicon and a metallic film directly formed on the amorphous silicon. This transparent conductive layer is used as a transparent electrode of the device and if necessary the remainder after having partially removed the metallic film for the transparent conductive layer is used as a conductive layer and right shielding film.
