Abstract
PURPOSE:To improve short and open-circuit voltages for the enhancement of photoelectric conversion efficiency, by using the doped thin film of an amorphous semiconductor with optical band gap, electric conductivity and diffusion potential over the fixed value on the side of light irradiation. CONSTITUTION:As the amorphous silicon doped thin film on the side of light irradiation in a Pin type photoelectric element, a thin film with optical band gap of approx. 1.85eV or more, electric conductivity of approx. 10<-3>(OMEGA.cm)<-1> or more at 20 deg.C and diffusion potential of approx. 1.1V or more in case of Pin junction is used. Thus, photoelectric conversion efficiency is enhanced.
