Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high photoelectric transfer efficiency which is especially effective for a light with short wavelength, by specifying both the content ratio of Se to Te and the content of hydrogen atoms in a ZnSe1-xTex film, and by forming deposited films in which the ratio of crystal grains per unit volume is controlled to the specific values. CONSTITUTION:An one semiconductor layer is composed of a deposited film which comprises zinc atoms, selenium atoms and hydrogen atoms, and contains a p or n type dopant, with the ratio of crystal grains per unit volume being specified in the range of 65-85 percent by volume. And, the other semiconductor layer is composed of a functional deposited film which comprises zinc atoms, selenium atoms, tellurium atoms and hydrogen atoms, with the content ratio of selenium atoms to tellurium atoms being specified in the range of 1:9-3:7, by number of atoms, hydrogen atoms being contained in the range of 1-4 atomic percentage, and the ratio of crystal grains per unit volume being specified in the range of 65-85 percent by volume. Accordingly, the cell with p-n junction employs these two films, which results in a desired photoelectromotive force being generated.
