0' or less), and by irradiating the interface between the substrate and the anti-reflection film of the first electrode, which is a transparent conductive film, with incident light twice, it is possible to reduce reflection at that interface. It is a feature.

。(2) By doing this, the irradiated light on the surface on the incident light side is reversed, so that the transparent conductive It! ji (hereinafter referred to as CTF) and the semiconductor can be reduced, and in addition, the total amount of reflection at the interface between the substrate and the CTF can be reduced. As a result, it has become possible to reduce the amount of reflected incident light from 20 to 30% to 6 to 8%, thereby improving conversion efficiency by 10 to 15%.

By reaching the CTF in time, we were able to increase the quantum efficiency from the conventional 60% at 400nm and 80% at 500nm to 85% at 400nm and 95% at 500nm. .

By etching the surface of a silicon single crystal with planes using APW (a mixture of ethylenediamine, pyrocatechol, and water), a matrix having V-shaped grooves, that is, a serrated surface with an angle of 70.5' or around 70.5' is produced. By making a transparent substrate and using it as a "mold" for the main surface of the transparent substrate, it is possible to create a transparent substrate with a serrated surface and all the unevenness of the serrated surface to be approximately the same shape. A photosensitive substrate is formed.

ることが知られている。Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that the CTF is produced by a reduced pressure vapor phase method or a plasma vapor phase method so that the CTF is formed along the saw-shaped main surface. In the present invention, since the surface to be formed has a serrated (4) uneven surface, the subsequent process is performed using plasma vapor phase method (referred to as PCVD method) or reduced pressure vapor deposition method instead of using electron beam evaporation method or spray method. Phase law (LPCVD)
Figure 1 shows the longitudinal cross-sectional view of the CTF conventional PVC, which is manufactured using a glass substrate (3) with a flat surface.
), CTF (4) on top of ITOlS n O, etc.
It is known to form one or two layers by electron beam evaporation or spraying. When forming this CTF by a spray method, ITO (indium oxide tin oxide compound) is formed to an average thickness of 1500 to 2000A,
Furthermore, tin oxide is formed on this upper surface to a thickness of 200 to 500 Å. Then, the surface of this CTF is 0.3 to 0.7/
Concave (14) and convex (13) having an average grain size of vL (however, the difference in height can only be about 4 layers per layer of the grain size) can be formed. For this reason, a semiconductor, that is, a P-type semiconductor, for example, 5ixC+-x (0<x<

It is known that when forming a semiconductor, it is possible to bend the incident light (10) as shown in (21) in the semiconductor, which can be used effectively.

0)に対してまったく有効でないことが判明した。However, in such conventional examples, the convex surfaces are formed by clusters of deposition simply by spraying on a light-transmitting substrate having a flat surface. However, the difference in height of the unevenness can only be created by about 4 times the grain size per layer, which is not sufficient. Therefore, it is required to use this shape even more actively. Furthermore, in such a conventional method, reflection at the interface between the substrate (3) and the CTF (4) (2
0) was found to be completely ineffective.

高7.93%までしか得られなかった。In such a conventional method, the photoelectric conversion efficiency (hereinafter referred to as type (6) efficiency) was up to 7% (7 to 7.9%), and a maximum of only 7.93% could be obtained.

In addition to increasing the quantum efficiency of long wavelength light of 00 nm or more, short wavelength light is effectively used, and in addition, the substrate-CTF interface, C
It is characterized by increasing the optical path length/carrier diffusion length of short wavelength light from the conventional value of 1 to 1.5 to 7 by making the reflection due to the difference in refractive index at the TF-semiconductor interface double reflection. .

特徴を有する。In order to make this substrate have the same sawtooth (sawtooth) angle of the unevenness, and the angle is approximately 70.5, all incident light is incident on two sides, and is controlled as in the conventional example. It has the great feature of being extremely efficient in utilizing the irradiated light, compared to a case where only a portion of the incident light that has no irregularities is diffusely reflected.
さらに本発明構造は、この鋸状の形状が制御されている
ため、上下の電極間がショートして歩留りを低下させる

Among the hole (17) pairs, the electrons pass through the center (15) of the recess (14) (the most stable energy level) and reach the second electrode. The diffusion length of electrons is 1000 times longer than that of holes.
Therefore, even if one layer (6) has an average of 0.3 to 0.8P, for example, 0.51, there is no problem with the drift. Furthermore, since these electrons are lost to the recess (14) on the back surface (9), the drift distance can be effectively further shortened.

発明はきわめて重要なものであることがわかった。On the other hand, holes, which are only about 1/1000 of electrons, have a drift distance of (27) and are very close to the CTF, so they are captured by the recombination center and are prevented from disappearing. For this reason, it has been found that the present invention in which OL/D L>1, especially 2 to 10, is extremely important.

A silicon oxide film with a thickness of 0.00 OA was formed. Thereafter, a photoresist (photoresist) was applied to the upper surface, and a mesh pattern was formed using a photoresisting method. Furthermore, this Regis 1~
Using the film as a mask, the silicon oxide film on the rectangular portion was removed with 1/10 hydrofluoric acid. In this way, the mesh was oriented in <110> direction, forming a mesh-like silicon oxide film.

It is also possible to adjust the surface tension of the mold release material by using a mixture with Mata cholera, which will change the softening point and melting point if the quality of the glass is changed. It is effective because it increases the possibility of 1 Jlill for what happens.

しめることが重要である。In this way, metal tin was coated over the entire surface of the release material, which had a sawtooth shape. After that, a transparent substrate such as a white plate glass with a thickness of 0.04 to 2 m is placed on the upper surface.
For example, 1.2 mm (3) was placed. This base material (1
), mold release material (2), and glass substrate (3) were heated at 600 to 700'C in an inert atmosphere furnace. This temperature should be the temperature at which the substrate softens. At this time, it is effective whether the base metal side is placed on the bottom side, the base metal side is placed on the top side, or alternately up and down. Since the tin is liquefied at such temperatures, it is important that the thickness is such that it does not form into droplets and that its surface tension allows it to be present over the entire serrated surface.

I n CI, and Sn'CI, 7 or S b C1, were used as indium, tin, or antimony reactive gases at a temperature of 0'C. For example, to make tin oxide, S n CI4 and air, which is an oxide gas, are mixed and the substrate is placed in a reactor maintained at 0.1 to 1 Q torr, eg, l torr. This board is 300~
600'C91J machining L; J: 450'C machining BL, T
(18) The above-mentioned reactive gas was flowed. Since the pressure is reduced, the mean free path of the reactive gas becomes large, and the tin oxide film is evenly formed on the side portions of the saw-shaped surface.
I was able to make it to the thickness of A.

In Method D, it was not possible to create a uniform CTF on the serrated surface of the present invention. Moreover, below 0.1 torr, the growth rate of the film was too low to put it into practical use.
