PURPOSE:To reduce a series resistance loss by reducing the series resistance component of a transparent conductor film of a series connection part, by forming a metal film which reduces the resistance of a second electrode on part of the transparent conductor film excepting a part comprising a first electrode formed on a semiconductor substrate, an amorphous layer, and the second electrode composed of the transparent conductor film, all superimposed together. CONSTITUTION:A metal film 5 is formed on a part of a second electrode 4 where a first electrode 2, an amorphous layer 3, and a second electrode 4 are not superimposed. A light enters the title capacitor apparatus from the side of a transparent conductor film (the second electrode) 4 disposed on the opposite side to an insulating substrate 1, and is principally absorbed by an i type region located in the amorphous layer 3 to excite electrons and holes. The electrons and the holes are moved into a n type region and into a p-type region by an electric field formed by the p-and n-type regions, respectively, for thereby generating a photocurrent. The photocurrent so generated is allowed to flow toward the first electrode 2 of the adjacent element on the right from, on one side, the first electrode 2 and from, on the other hand, the transparent conductor film (the second electrode). 4 via the metal film 5. Such formation of the metal film 5 which reduces resistance reduces series resistance to improve the output. |
