Abstract
Process technologies developed for plastic-film substrate solar cells have been studied. The solar cells have a monolithic series-connected structure named ''SCAF'' and are fabricated by a developed fabrication process based on roll-to-roll systems. The fabricated cells are encap sulated using a newly developed roll-to-roll vacuum laminator. Pilot p roductions for SCAF cells are carried out and reproducibility of the p rocess is confirmed. The details of the processes are presented and th e advantages of them are discussed.
