Provided is a thermally conductive silicone composition that can be turned into a lightweight cured product superior in thermal conductivity, and is easily processable due to its low viscosity. The composition contains:

Thermally conductive silicone composition and thermally conductive silicone sheet

A method of manufacturing a solar cell module comprising pressing a first silicone gel sheet provided on a sunlight receiving surface of a solar cell string and a second silicone gel sheet provided on an opposite side sunlight non-receiving surface of the solar cell string in vacuum to encapsulate the solar cell string with the first and second silicone gel sheets; disposing the sunlight receiving surface side of the first silicone gel sheet on one surface of a transparent light receiving panel and disposing butyl rubber in a picture frame-like shape along an outer peripheral portion of a panel where the first silicone gel sheet is not formed and laying the light receiving panel and the light non-receiving panel or back sheet over each other with the silicone gel sheet-encapsulated solar cell string on the inside, and pressing them at 100 to 150&#xb0; C. in vacuum to press bond the light receiving surface panel and the light non-receiving surface panel or back sheet to each other through the butyl rubber.

Method of manufacturing solar cell module

A method of manufacturing a solar cell module comprising adhering a first silicone gel sheet to one surface of a transparent light receiving panel to be a sunlight incidence surface; adhering a second silicone gel sheet to one surface of a light non-receiving panel or back sheet on the side opposite to the sunlight incidence surface; disposing a solar cell string on the first silicone gel sheet of the light receiving panel, and disposing butyl rubber in a picture frame-like shape along an outer peripheral region of a panel where either of the silicone gel sheets are not formed; and laying the light receiving panel and the light non-receiving panel or back sheet over each other with the silicone gel sheets on the inside, and pressing them at 100 to 150&#xb0; C. in vacuum to encapsulate the solar cell string with the silicone gel sheets and press bond the light receiving panel and the light non-receiving panel or back sheet to each other through the butyl rubber.

A solar cell module is manufactured by encapsulating a solar cell matrix comprising a plurality of electrically connected solar cell components between a transparent panel and a backsheet with a resin. The method involves (i) embossing opposite surfaces of a green silicone rubber sheet, (ii) arranging a transparent panel (), silicone rubber sheet (), solar cell matrix (), silicone rubber sheet (), and backsheet () to form a multilayer assembly, and (iii) heating and compressing the assembly for vacuum lamination for establishing a seal around the solar cell matrix.

Manufacture of solar cell module

A pellicle for lithography, in which an agglutinant layer is so controlled that the deformation of the pellicle frame is prevented from transferring to an exposure original plate to which the pellicle is attached so that pattern transferred scarcely undergoes deformation; in particular the agglutinant layer has a Young's modulus of 0.02 to 0.08 MPa and a tensile bond strength of 0.04 to 0.08 N/mm.

Pellicle for lithography

There is provided a method for manufacturing a pellicle in which the pellicle frame is prepared by being heated at a predetermined temperature while constricting the frame to some extent of flatness to achieve a desired flatness and future stability against heat.
