Photovoltaic device including flexible or inflexible substrate and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a photovoltaic device. The method includes: forming a first electrode on a substrate; forming a first unit cell on the first electrode; forming a portion of an intermediate reflector on the first unit cell in a first manufacturing system, the intermediate reflector including a plurality of first and second sub-layers alternately stacked; exposing to the air the substrate on which the portion of the intermediate reflector is formed; forming the rest of the intermediate reflector in a second manufacturing system, the intermediate reflector including the plurality of the first and second sub-layers alternately stacked; forming a second unit cell on the intermediate reflector; and forming a second electrode on the second unit cell.
