Method for producing single crystal silicon solar cell and single crystal silicon solar cell

Abstract

A method for producing a single crystal silicon solar cell including the steps of: implanting ions into a single crystal silicon substrate through an ion implanting surface thereof; closely contacting the single crystal silicon substrate and a transparent insulator substrate with each other via a transparent adhesive while using the ion implanting surface as a bonding surface; curing the transparent adhesive; applying an impact to the ion implanted layer to mechanically delaminate the single crystal silicon substrate; forming a plurality of diffusion regions having a second conductivity type at the delaminated surface side of the single crystal silicon layer, such that a plurality of first conductivity-type regions and second conductivity-type regions are present at the delaminated surface of the single crystal silicon layer; forming pluralities of individual electrodes on the pluralities of first and second conductivity-type regions, respectively; and forming collector electrodes for the individual electrodes, respectively.
