PURPOSE:To improve productivity by forming a rear surface electrode layer of a resin containing metal powder to thereby allow screen-printing. CONSTITUTION:A rear electrode layer is formed at a position corresponding to a transparent electrode layer 12 as a second electrode layer 16 on a transparent substrate 10 to which an amorphous silicon-containing semiconductor layer 14 is bonded, and an amorphous silicon-containing semiconductor element 18 is made up of a first electrode layer (transparent electrode layer) 12, the amorphous silicon layer-containing semiconductor layer 14 and the second electrode layer (rear electrode layer) 16. The rear electrode layer 16 is formed by printing the paste made of metal powder mixed with a resin into a predetermined pattern by e.g., a screen-printing, and then by being set. The powder-like metal to be used is one that can have an ohmic contact with amorphous silicon and both conductive and thermally resistant; preferably Ni, Cr, Ti, and Mo. |
