    摘要: A solar cell substrate has irregularities on a surface which is in contact with a photo-electric conversion layer, and light is incident on the side of the irregularities. The height of the irregularities is set so that the root mean square height is in a range of 15 nm to 600 nm, and tan &thgr; is in a range of 0.10 to 0.30, where &thgr; is the angle of incline of the surface of the irregularities with respect to an average line of the irregularities. Light incident on the irregularities is scattered at the interface. This increases the optical path length and thus the quantity of light absorbed in the photo-electric conversion layer, resulting in improved efficiency. Additionally, the photo-electric conversion layer can be made thinner reducing deposit time and manufacturing cost. Further, collision of crystals is not incurred, thus preventing deterioration of photo-electric conversion efficiency which is caused by defects.

    摘要: Semiconductor layer forming gas is introduced into a reaction chamber, and the gas generates a plasma discharge, so that a semiconductor layer is formed. In addition to the gas, impurity gas is introduced into the chamber, and first conductivity type layer forming gas including the semiconductor layer forming gas and the impurity gas generates a plasma discharge, so that a first conductivity type layer of a first conductivity type is formed so as to cover the semiconductor layer. In the step of forming the first conductivity type layer, a composition set value of gas supplied to the chamber is shifted from a composition of the semiconductor layer forming gas to a composition of the first conductivity type layer forming gas in a state where a pressure in the chamber is not reduced to ultimate vacuum even after a plasma discharge processing for forming the semiconductor layer is terminated.
