<p>Disclosed are: a transparent electrode having a zinc oxide film wherein initial characteristics and humidity resistance during long-time use coexist; and a thin film solar cell provided with said electrode. The transparent electrode contains a transparent conductive layer mainly made of zinc oxide. The transparent conductive film preferably has the following characteristics: having surface irregularities; a carrier concentration of 9 × 10 19 cm -3 or less; a crystal structure having a (110) preferred orientation; a ratio of a (110) peak intensity to a (002) peak intensity I(110)/I(002) measured by X-ray diffraction being 50 or more; and a crystallite with a (110) orientation has a size of 23 nm or more and 50 nm or less, in a planar direction parallel to a substrate; and 30 nm or more and 60 nm or less, in a planar direction perpendicular to the substrate.</p> |
