Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a photoelectric conversion device whose transparent electrode is ZnO (zinc oxide). Background technique
[0002] Conventionally, silicon-based thin-film photoelectric conversion devices have been known as photoelectric conversion devices such as solar cells. Usually, a first transparent electrode, a silicon-based semiconductor layer (photoelectric conversion layer), a second transparent electrode, and a metal electrode film are laminated in this order on the substrate of the photoelectric conversion device.
[0003] As a transparent electrode, a material with low resistance and high light transmittance is required, so ZnO (zinc oxide), SnO 2 (tin dioxide) and so on.
[0004] The low resistance of such a transparent electrode is achieved by adding Ga (gallium) oxide, Al (aluminum) oxide, fluorine, or the like.
[0005] In addition, when an amorphous silicon thin film is used as a photoelectric conversion layer, there ...
