  • Patent number: 8507366
    Abstract: A rapid thermal processing system includes a rapid thermal processing furnace, a back electrode substrate, and a cover. The rapid thermal processing furnace includes a reaction chamber and a heating device. The heating device is capable of generating heat energy. The back electrode substrate is adapted to dispose in the reaction chamber and has a precursor layer and a selenium layer formed on the precursor layer. The cover is disposed at a position corresponding to the selenium layer on the back electrode substrate and has a sulfur in solid form formed thereon, so as to make the sulfur in solid form opposite to the selenium layer. After the sulfur in solid form absorbs the heat energy generated by the heating device, the sulfur in solid form reacts with the selenium layer and the precursor layer to form a photoelectric transducing layer.

  • Publication number: 20130133720
    Abstract: A solar battery module includes a substrate, striped metal electrode layers formed alternately on the substrate along a first direction, striped photoelectric transducing layers, striped transparent electrode layers, and electrode lines. Each striped photoelectric transducing layer is formed on the striped metal electrode layer and the substrate along the first direction. Each striped transparent electrode layer is formed on the striped metal electrode layer and the striped photoelectric transducing layer along the first direction. The striped transparent electrode layers and the striped metal electrode layers are in series connection along a second direction. The electrode lines are formed alternately on each striped transparent electrode layer or between each striped photoelectric transducing layer and each striped transparent electrode layer along the second direction.
