Abstract: A method for producing a photovoltaic device that includes spherical photovoltaic elements and a support with a large number of recesses for receiving the elements one by one and to the photovoltaic device. Each of the spherical photovoltaic elements includes a spherical first semiconductor and a second semiconductor layer covering the first semiconductor. A conductive adhesive is applied to the bottoms of the recesses of the support serving as a second conductor layer. The elements are disposed in the bottoms of the recesses with the conductive adhesive applied thereto, to fix the elements to the support and electrically connect their second semiconductor layers to the support. An electrical insulator layer, which has through-holes serving as conductive paths, is bonded to the backside of the support, and a first conductor layer, which interconnects the electrodes of the first semiconductors of the respective elements, is formed thereon.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic substrate has a first conductive pattern that is transfer-printed on a ceramic substrate using an intaglio plate made of a flexible resin. The intaglio plate has a plurality of grooves with different depts. A first insulation layer is on the first conductive pattern, and a second conductive pattern is on the insulating layer. The two conductive patterns are coupled by a via.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a multi-layer ceramic substrate for forming a first conductive pattern on a ceramic substrate. An intaglio plate is manufactured which has first and second grooves. The grooves are filled with an electroconductive paste. Conductivity of paths in the grooves is increased by deaerating and drying the paste. The intaglio plate is glued to and then separated from a ceramic substrate so that the pattern of the pattern of the electroconductive paste is transferred to the substrate. An insulation layer and a further conductive pattern are then applied.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a ceramic substrate used in various electronic appliances, and more particularly to a manufacturing method of a ceramic substrate forming a conductor pattern by intaglio printing. A conductive paste is supplied in the intaglio by using any one of screen mask, metal mask, or drawing device, and therefore the conductive paste can be supplied uniformly in desired positions only. The supplying amount of the conductive paste can be adjusted by repeating printing, so that an optimum amount can be set depending on the pattern. As a result, a fine wiring pattern of thick film can be easily formed, and a ceramic circuit board low in wiring resistance, high in wiring density, and high in dimensional precision of wiring pattern can be obtained.
