Description
光電変換装置21は、基板1と、該基板1の上に平面的に並べられた複数の光電変換セル10とを備えている。図1では、図示の都合上、2つの光電変換セル10の一部のみが示されている。但し、実際の光電変換装置21には、図面の左右方向に、多数の光電変換セル10が平面的に配列され得る。
図4から図9で示される各断面図は、図2で示された光電変換装置21の断面に対応する部分の製造途中の様子を示す。
ルイス塩基性有機化合物(第1ルイス塩基性有機化合物とも言う)と、I−B族元素を含む有機金属錯体(第1有機金属錯体とも言う)とが、有機溶媒(第1有機溶媒とも言う)に溶解されることで、第1錯体を含む溶液(第1錯体溶液とも言う)が調製される。このとき、攪拌が行われ、第1ルイス塩基性有機化合物と第1有機金属錯体との反応によって第1錯体が生成される。
金属アルコキシドと、カルコゲン元素含有有機化合物(第1カルコゲン元素含有有機化合物とも言う)とが、有機溶媒(第2有機溶媒とも言う)に溶解された後に、III−B族元素の原料が溶解されることで、第2錯体を含む溶液(第2錯体溶液とも言う)が調製される。このとき、攪拌が行われ、金属アルコキシドと第1カルコゲン元素含有有機化合物との反応によって第1カルコゲン元素含有有機化合物の金属塩(第2金属塩とも言う)が生成される。さらに、このとき、第2金属塩とIII−B族元素の原料との反応によって第2錯体が生成される。
上記の工程[A],[B]で調製された第1錯体溶液と第2錯体溶液との混合によって、第1錯体溶液と第2錯体溶液とが反応することで、前駆体(単一源前駆体とも言う)を含む沈殿物が生成される。この前駆体は、Cu等のI−B族元素と、InおよびGa等のIII−B族元素と、Se等のカルコゲン元素とを含有する。なお、第1錯体溶液と第2錯体溶液とを反応させる際の温度は0℃以上で且つ30℃以下であれば良く、反応時間は1時間以上で且つ5時間以内であれば良い。
上記の工程[C]で得られた単一源前駆体の沈殿物に有機溶媒(例えば、ピリジン等)が添加されることで、単一源前駆体の濃度が所定値(例えば、5〜50質量%)である溶液が生成される。この溶液に、III−B族元素とセレンとの化合物(例えば、Ga2Se3の粉末等)が、単一源前駆体の全量に対して、例えば1〜10質量%となるように添加されて、溶解されることで半導体形成用溶液が調製される。
次に、製造条件と接続層31bの発生との関係、ならびに接続層31bによる光電変換装置21の変換効率の向上について、具体例を示して説明する。
なお、本発明は上述の実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の変更、改良等が可能である。
