Abstract

A post-processing apparatus of a solar cell carries out a post-processing operation including a main period for heat-treating a solar cell including a semiconductor substrate while providing light to the solar cell. The post-processing apparatus includes a main section to carry out the main period. The main section includes a first heat source unit to provide heat to the semiconductor substrate and a light source unit to provide light to the semiconductor substrate. The first heat source unit and the light source unit are positioned in the main section. The light source unit includes a light source constituted by a plasma lighting system (PLS).

Claims (15)

1. A post-processing apparatus of a solar cell that carries out a post-processing operation comprising a main period for heat-treating a solar cell comprising a semiconductor substrate while providing light to the solar cell, the post-processing apparatus comprising:

a main section to carry out the main, period; and

air curtains members, each of which is located at an edge of the main section to partition the main section from another section of the post-processing apparatus,

wherein the main section comprises a first heat source to provide heat to the semiconductor substrate and a light source to provide light to the semiconductor substrate, the first heat source and the light source being positioned in the main section, and

the light source and the first heat source respectively provide light and heat to the semiconductor substrate in a state in which the light source and the first heat source are spaced apart from each other.

2. The post-processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises a plurality of light sources,

the first heat source comprises a plurality of heat sources,

the plurality of light sources are positioned adjacent to each other,

the plurality of heat sources are positioned adjacent to each other, and

the plurality of light sources and the plurality of heat sources are spaced apart from each other.

3. The post-processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein,

the light source is positioned at one side of the semiconductor substrate, and

the first heat source is positioned at the other another side of the semiconductor substrate.

4. The post-processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the light source is positioned at an upper side of the semiconductor substrate, and

the first heat source is positioned at a lower side of the semiconductor substrate.
