  • Publication number: 20140183444
    Abstract: A high-voltage flip-chip LED structure and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The manufacturing method includes: providing a die substrate, depositing a first passivation layer, forming a co-electrical-connecting layer, depositing a second passivation layer, depositing a mirror layer, forming two conductive tunnels by etching, and providing two connecting metal layers. The die substrate includes a sapphire substrate and multiple LED chips thereon. The fully transparent co-electrical-connecting layer, formed after formation of the first passivation layer, electrically connects the LED chips in series. The outer surface of the deposited second passivation layer is a flat passivation surface that enables the mirror layer thereon to be level and reflect light without optical path difference. The two connecting metal layers are provided for electrical conduction. The high-voltage flip-chip LED structure thus formed has fully transparent electrodes and can output light without optical path difference.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) nanoink composition and a CZTSe sputtering target thereof for use in manufacturing an absorption layer of a thin-film solar cell. The CZTSe sputtering target includes a binary multiphase mixture and/or a ternary multiphase mixture. The CZTSe nanoink composition not only includes the binary multiphase mixture and/or ternary multiphase mixture but also includes a chelating agent. Any two of Cu, Zn, Sn, and Se are combined by the chelating agent to form the binary multiphase mixture. Alternatively, any three of Cu, Zn, Sn, and Se are combined by the chelating agent to form the ternary multiphase mixture. By manufacturing the absorption layer of the thin-film solar cell in the aforesaid manner, the absorption layer has a perfect quaternary monophase structure but does not manifest any impure phase detrimental to photoelectric conversion efficiency.
