SOLAR CELL ELEMENT, PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR, AND SOLAR CELL MODULE

摘要

This solar cell element includes: a semiconductor substrate which has a light-receiving surface, and a rear surface located on the opposite side to the light-receiving surface, said semiconductor substrate having, provided to the rear surface thereof, a p-type diffusion region including a p-type impurity and an n-type diffusion region including an n-type impurity; a passivation layer which is provided to a portion or the entirety of the rear surface of the semiconductor substrate, and which includes at least one selected from the group consisting of Nb2O5, Ta2O5, V2O5, Y2O3, and HfO2; a first metal electrode provided to at least a portion of the p-type diffusion region; and a second metal electrode provided to at least a portion of the n-type diffusion region.
