ABSTRACT:
A plurality of n semiconductor elements U.sub.1 to U.sub.n are sequentially formed on a substrate side by side and connected in series. Different arrangements for providing external terminal connections for the plurality of elements are disclosed. The element U.sub.i (where i=1, 2, . . . n) has a first electrode E.sub.i formed on the substrate, a non-single-crystal semiconductor laminate member Q.sub.i formed on the electrode E.sub.i, and a second electrode F.sub.j+1 (j=1, 2, . . . (n-1)) is coupled with the electrode E.sub.j via a coupling portion K.sub.j formed by an extension of the electrode F.sub.j+1. The laminate member Q.sub.i has formed therein at least one semiconductor junction. The second electrode F.sub.i has a conductive metal oxide layer making contact with the non-single-crystal semiconductor laminate member Q.sub.i and a conductive material layer formed on the metal oxide layer and the non-single-crystal semiconductor laminate member Q.sub.i has either (a) an N type non-single-crystal semiconductor layer making contact with the metal oxide layer, where the metal oxide layer is a layer formed of indium oxide or consisting principally thereof or (b) a P type non-single-crystal semiconductor layer making contact with the metal oxide layer where the metal oxide layer is a layer formed of tin oxide or consisting principally thereof.
