PHOTOVOLTAIC ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

This photovoltaic element (10), of which one side is used as a light entrance surface, is provided with: an n-type crystalline semiconductor substrate (11); an n-type amorphous semiconductor thin film (13) and a first transparent conductive film (14) laminated in the given sequence to one side of the n-type crystalline semiconductor substrate (11); and a p-type amorphous semiconductor thin film (16) and a second transparent conductive film (17) laminated in the given sequence to the other side of the n-type crystalline semiconductor substrate (11). The first and/or second transparent conductive film (14, 17) is formed from indium oxide that has been doped by at least tantalum.
