Photoelectric conversion device and manufacturing method thereof

摘要

A method of manufacturing a photoelectric conversion device according to the present invention comprises the steps of: applying numerous glass particles having a particle size before baking being 5 to 25% of that of crystalline semiconductor particles to a substrate having an electrode of one side; depositing the crystalline semiconductor particles on the layer of the glass particles; pressing the crystalline semiconductor particles against the substrate; and subjecting them to baking, whereby manufacturing a photoelectric conversion device in which the crystalline semiconductor particles and the substrate have been joined together as well as an insulator has been interposed among the crystalline semiconductor particles. Accordingly, the photoelectric conversion device has good conversion efficiency and is manufactured at a low cost.
