SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A semiconductor device such as a solar cell, photodiode and solid state imaging device comprises a semiconductor layer made of amorphous silicon formed on a given substrate, and a transparent conductive layer formed by an interracial reaction between the amorphous silicon and a metallic film directly formed on the amorphous silicon. This transparent conductive layer is used as a transparent electrode of the device and if necessary the remainder after having partially removed the metallic film for the transparent conductive layer is used as a conductive layer and right shielding film.
