PURPOSE:To prevent charge produced in a semiconductor layer from leaking through a low resistance defective part by a method wherein the low resistance defective part is selectively insulated with electro-deposited resin and a shunt resistance is increased to exceed a specific value to increase the electrical resistance of the low resistance defective part. CONSTITUTION:Semiconductor layers 103, 104 and 105 which have at least one junction and electrodes 102 and 106 are built up on a conductive substrate 101 to compose a solar cell. The low resistance defective part 109 of the solar cell is selectively insulated with electro-deposited resin 110. With the constitution, a shunt resistance which is the electrical resistance of the low resistance part is increased to exceed 1X10<3>cm<2> and charge produced in the semiconductor layer can be prevented from leaking through the defective part 109, so that the characteristics of the solar cell such as the conversion efficiency of an optoelectric transducer can be improved. |
