Abstract

A method for manufacturing a single crystal silicon solar cell includes implanting either hydrogen ions or rare-gas ions into a single crystal silicon substrate; bringing the single crystal silicon substrate in close contact with a transparent insulator substrate via a transparent adhesive, with the ion-implanted surface being a bonding surface; curing the transparent adhesive; mechanically delaminating the single crystal silicon substrate to form a single crystal silicon layer; forming a plurality of diffusion areas of a second conductivity type in the delaminated surface side of the single crystal silicon layer, and causing a plurality of areas of a first conductivity type and the plurality of areas of the second conductivity type to be present in the delaminated surface of the single crystal silicon layer; forming each of a plurality of individual electrodes on each one of the plurality of areas of the first conductivity type and on each one of the plurality of areas of the second conductivity type; forming a collector electrode for the plurality of individual electrodes on the plurality of areas of the first conductivity type, and a collector electrode for the plurality of indi…
