METHOD OF MANUFACTURING TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE SUBSTRATE FOR SOLAR CELL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of efficiently manufacturing a transparent conductive substrate for a solar cell, which is capable of exhibiting an excellent light confinement effect as a transparent conductive substrate of a solar cell and makes photoelectric conversion efficiency high.SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing a transparent conductive substrate for a solar cell comprises: a step of applying a curable resin 12 onto a transparent support substrate 11 and curing the curable resin while pressing a matrix 21 against the curable resin; and then removing the matrix, thereby laminating a cured resin layer having irregularities formed thereon on the transparent support substrate. The matrix is obtained by a process comprising the steps of: forming a vapor-deposited film on a surface of a polymer film made of a polymer whose volume changes by heat, under a temperature condition of 70°C or higher and then cooling the polymer film and the vapor-deposited film, thereby forming irregularities due to wrinkles on a surface of the vapor-deposited film; and depositing a matrix material on the vapor-deposited film and curing it and then removing the cured matrix material from the vapor-deposited film to obtain a first matrix.
