PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION ELEMENT

摘要

: The invention relates to a photoelectric conversion element including at least a first electrode and a photoconductive layer having an amorphous material whose indispensable constituent is silicon and which contains hydrogen as an essential constituent element on a predetermined substrate. The present invention discloses a photoelectric conversion element wherein the layer of amorphous material is disposed on the first electrode via a light transmitting or light semi-transmitting metallic layer for adhesion with respect to the amorphous material. A layer consisting of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ta, Cr, W, Nd, Mo, V and Ti is preferred as the metallic layer for adhesion. Thus, adhesion between the substrate and the amorphous material is improved.
