Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the formation of the circuit of an integrated type solar battery, by providing a light receiving part and a light shielding part on an amorphous silicon layer, forming a solar battery element by the light receiving part, and forming a reverse-flow preventing diode by the light shielding part. CONSTITUTION:On lower electrodes 7-11, which are provided on a glass transparent substrate 6, a P type amorphous layer 12, an I-type amorphous layer 13 and an N type amorphous layer 14 are sequentially formed, and P-I-N junction amorphous silicon layers 15 are provided. Upper electrodes 16-20 are provided thereon so as to face the lower electrodes 7-11, respectively. At the back surface of the substrate 6, i.e., at the light input side, a light shielding film 21 comprising a metal film is provided at a part corresponding to the facing electrodes 11 and 20 at the right end. The layers 15 are divided into a light receiving part 22 and a light shielding part 23. The light receiving part 22 forms a solar battery element 24. The light shielding part 23 forms a reverse-flow preventing diode 25. Since the P-I-N semiconductor has a P-N junction in principle, the semiconductor has a diode characteristic in a light shielding state.
