ABSTRACT:
A solar cell has a semiconductor layer sandwiched between first and second electrodes, wherein a zinc oxide layer containing carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, or carbon and nitrogen atoms is located between the semiconductor layer and at least one of the first and second electrodes. The density of carbon atoms, nitrogen atoms, or carbon and nitrogen atoms in the zinc oxide layer is constant or continuously changed within the range of 5 atm % or less.
