ABSTRACT:
A plurality n of semiconductor elements U.sub.i to U.sub.n are sequentially formed on a substrate side by side and connected in series. 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.i formed on the laminate member Q.sub.i. The 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 an N (or P) type first semiconductor layer, an I type second semiconductor layer and P (or N) type third semiconductor layer. The second electrode F.sub.i and the coupling portion K.sub.j are formed by a layered member having 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 where the second conductive material layer of the second electrode F.sub.i is a layer formed of chromium or a material consisting principally thereof.
