In the method of producing photoelectric transducers having processes for forming a photoconductive layer on a predetermined substrate with an irregular surface by a method of depositing the photoconductive layer in the atmosphere including at least plasma, the predetermined substrate with irregular surface is disposed above a first electrode to which an electrode is opposed, and said photoconductive layer is formed while a negative potential is being applied to the first electrode. This enables the photoconductive layer to be formed without breaks at steps, pinholes and so on due to the irregular surface, and therefore, it is possible to provide good photoelectric transducers with small dark current.

In forming a selective oxidation mask to a desired region on the aluminum pattern with a positive type photoresist, for the anodic oxidation, an angle (.theta.) formed between the selective oxidation mask and the aluminum pattern is made as: .beta..gtoreq.110-20T(T: film thickness of the positive type photoresist). The photoresist is subjected to a heat treatment prior to and after exposure, preferably the after-treatment being performed before developing. The anodic oxidation film is heat-treated after formation, to reduce the leak current.
摘要:
A photosensor comprises an insulating substrate, an electrode, a photoconductor layer composed of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon semiconductor layer obtained by the glow discharge decomposition of monosilane gas, a junction stabilizing layer composed of a boron-containing hydrogenated amorphous silicon semiconductor which is obtained by the glow discharge decomposition of a mixed gas of monosilane and diborane, a transparent electrode and a transparent protective layer, these elements being laminated in that order. The insertion of the junction stabilizing layer between the photoconductor layer and the transparent electrode greatly improves the dark current characteristic. The electrode, the photoconductor layer and the junction stabilizing layer can be divided in correspondence with each picture element, thereby improving the resolution of the photosensor.
