PURPOSE:To inexpensively obtain a solar battery having a reverse flow preventive layer having good performance by growing a solar battery layer and the reverse flow preventive layer on a lower electrode by using the same amorphous Si, forming the reverse flow preventive layer as a light shielding structure and forming upper electrodes on the respective layers. CONSTITUTION:A lower electrode 4 made of, for example, Al, Mo, Cr, etc. is covered on a substrate 4 made of, for example, glass, quartz, stainless steel, etc., and a semiconductor layer 3 using amorphous silicon becoming a thin film solar battery is grown on the electrode. The layer 3 is formed in a PIN configuration made of a P type layer 12, a nondoped layer 13 and an N type layer 14, and the continued layer 3 is divided into a reverse flow preventive layer 10 and a solar battery layer 9. Thereafter, upper electrodes 1, 2 are covered on the respective layers, molding material 6 becoming light shielding mechanism is covered on the layer 10, and external terminals 8, 7 are mounted on the upper electrodes 1, 2 respectively. Thus, a layer for preventing the reverse flow is formed integrally with the solar battery inexpensively. |
