NOVELTY - A strip plate structure comprises strip plate array, which comprises strip plates (150) arranged with spacing in predetermined direction on same plane, where each of strip plates has first surface (150-1) and second surface (150-2) opposite to first surface and the strip plate array is arranged on a plane parallel to first surfaces of strip plates; strip sheets (120), which connect neighboring ones of the strip plates; and flexible material layers, which are located on at least a portion of the surfaces of strip sheets and/or on at least a portion of the surfaces of the strip plates.    USE - As strip plate structure (claimed), for semiconductor device e.g. solar cells.    ADVANTAGE - The strip plate structure makes effective use of the thickness of the substrate, and increases processable surface areas or the utilization rate of surface areas of wafers, on the premise that dimensions of whole wafers are not increased. The strip plate structure proposes to form flexible material layers on surfaces of the strip sheets, thus, when the upright strip plate array is stretched to form planar strip plate array with connected strip plates, the neighboring strip plates can still be connected through the flexible material layers, even if the strip sheets go ruptured because of their brittleness; thus, it becomes quite easy to stretch strip plates into a planar array where the strip plates are distributed on a same plane, and improves efficiency and yield of device structure manufacturing.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for manufacturing a strip plate structure for semiconductor devices, involving providing a substrate, which has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; patterning the first surface and the second surface of the substrate; forming at least two first trenches from the first surface of the substrate; and forming at least one second trench from the second surface of the substrate, where each of the second trench is located between two neighboring first trenches so as to form an upright strip plate array consisting of at least two strip plates and at least one strip sheet; forming flexible material layers on at least a portion of the surfaces of the strip sheets and/or on at least a portion of the surfaces of the strip plates of the upright strip plate array; and stretching the upright strip plate array to form a substantially planar strip plate array.
