Photovoltaic cells include those that use amorphous silicon and IV group compound semiconductors, and those that use cadmium. The former method is manufactured by a vapor phase growth method or an evaporation method, which requires a vacuum device and is not suitable for mass production.Furthermore, the cost is high and it is difficult to produce a large-area photovoltaic cell.

On the other hand, the latter method is suitable for mass production because it can use screen printing, is inexpensive, and can easily produce large-area photovoltaic cells, but on the other hand, it has the disadvantage of low pattern accuracy. . This is thought to be due to the fact that conventional cadmium photovoltaic cells use inks containing propylene glycol in a mixture of cadmium sulfide and cadmium chloride, and a mixture of cadmium telluride and cadmium chloride, respectively. The present invention is intended to solve this problem,
The purpose is to provide a method for manufacturing cadmium photovoltaic cells that can be screen printed with high precision, and an agricultural ink for the same.

[Structure of the Invention] The method for manufacturing a photovoltaic cell of the present invention involves coating or printing on a substrate an ink composed of a mixture of cadmium sulfide and cadmium chloride mixed with a solution of a depolymerizable polymer alone or a mixture thereof. This is heated to decompose the depolymerizable polymer, and then sintered, and a mixture of cadmium telluride and cadmium chloride is coated with depolymerizable polymer. A film containing cadmium telluride as a main component is formed by applying or printing an ink containing a solution of a single polymer or a mixture thereof, which is heated to decompose the depolymerizable polymer, and then sintered. It is characterized by tying.

, 0.8%, 8%, and 86.7% (by weight) of ink was printed using a screen printing method to form a film mainly composed of CdTe, and this was printed at 4000 p.m. After heating for 1 hour, in a nitrogen atmosphere,
Sintering was carried out at 620 tons for 1 hour. A carbon electrode was attached on top of the sintered CdTe film, and a silver electrode was further attached on top of that. In addition, the CdS film was coated with silver, and the photovoltaic cell thus obtained had a line spacing of 0.0. A fine putter with an l+m line width of 0.1 mm was created. This is thought to be due to the fact that the present invention performs screen printing with an ink containing CdS and CdTe mixed with polymethyl methacrylate. However, this polymer becomes an obstacle during the sintering of CdS and CdTe and must be removed. Therefore, in the photovoltaic cell manufacturing method of the present invention, after printing the CdS ink and CdTe ink, heating is performed at 400C for 1 hour. ing. In order to confirm this point, an experiment was conducted in which the 400C 11-hour heating step of the above-mentioned example was excluded, and both CdS and CdTe were not sintered.

[Effects of the Invention] In order to compare the photovoltaic cell manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention and the photovoltaic cell manufactured by the conventional method, the printed CdS film was printed with a line spacing l wg of the screen plate and a printed pattern with a line width of 1 m or less. could not be precisely reproduced. In addition, the level of the printed CdS film was also uneven, making it impossible to obtain a high-quality photovoltaic cell. On the other hand, in the method for manufacturing a photovoltaic cell of the present invention, as shown in the above embodiment, the line spacing is 0.1
10+, line width Q, 1 m fine pattern can be formed, and it has an excellent effect that CdS films and CdTe films having a uniform level without cracks can be obtained.
