ABSTRACT:
The present invention is to provide a method for producing a photovoltaic element having a reflective layer with high reflectivity and with high reliability and thus showing high photoelectric conversion efficiency, and especially to provide a production method causing no change in the reflection characteristics of a deposited film, even in continuous production on a long substrate for a long period. The production method of a photovoltaic element of the present invention is a method for producing a photovoltaic element having a reflective layer and a semiconductor layer on a long substrate, comprising the steps of supplying an inert gas, hydrogen atoms, and oxygen atoms into a vacuum vessel housing the substrate and effecting sputtering by use of a target comprising aluminum, thereby forming the reflective layer on the substrate.
