Abstract
PURPOSE:To improve conversion efficiency of a solar cell by a method wherein an i-layer which contains 5X10<16>-5X10<18>atoms/cm<3> of atoms of III-group elements is formed between a p-layer and an n-layer by decomposing reactive gas composed of Si compound to which III-group elements are added by glow discharge. CONSTITUTION:A p-layer 2 is formed on a stainless steel substrate 1 by glow discharge in mixed gas of B2H6 and SiH4 with the ratio B2H6/SiH4=10<-2>. Then an i-layer 3 is formed by the glow discharge in the mixed gas of B2H6 and SiH4 with the ratio B2H6/SiH4=10<-5>. Then an n-layer 4 is formed by the glow discharge in the mixed gas of PH3 and SiH4 with the ratio PH3/SiH4=10<-2>. Migration from the p-layer 2 in which density of B is high into the intermediate layer through the side touching the p-layer 2 can be expected, but practically the density of B in the most part of the intermediate layer is within 5X10<-16>- 5X10<18>atoms/cm<3> and the average density is 1X10<17>atoms/cm<3>.
