<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thin film solar cell of which efficiency is improved and a method of manufacturing the same. <P>SOLUTION: A method of manufacturing a thin film solar cell includes: forming a plurality of cells, each of which includes a first electrode positioned on a substrate, a second electrode positioned on the first electrode, and a photoelectric conversion unit that is positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode and converts incident light from the outside into electricity; performing an edge deletion process to remove respective first portions of a first electrode, a second electrode, and a photoelectric conversion unit included in an outermost cell positioned at an end of the substrate among the plurality of cells, the first portions being the same portion; and performing an edge isolation process to remove respective second portions of the first electrode, the second electrode, and the photoelectric conversion unit included in the outermost cell positioned at an end of the substrate among the plurality of cells, the second portions being the same portion. At least a part of the second portions in the edge isolation process overlaps the first portions of the edge deletion process. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
