ABSTRACT:
A photovoltaic device including a plurality of power generation regions arranged in alignment with one another on one side of an insulative substrate, the power generation region being composed of an amorphous semiconductor layer, a first electrode formed below the amorphous semiconductor layer, a second electrode formed above the amorphous semiconductor layer, and the first electrode of one of two adjacent power generation regions being electrically connected to the second electrode of the other adjacent power generation region, the photovoltaic device being characterized by connection sections, facing each other with the amorphous semiconductor layer sandwiched between them, the connection sections, being provided on the first electrode of one of two adjacent power generation regions and the second electrode of the other adjacent power generation region, and a straight groove in the amorphous semiconductor layer sandwiched between the connection sections along the arrangement direction of the power generation regions to thereby electrically connect the first electrode of one of two adjacent power generation regions to the second electrode of the other adjacent power generation region so that the effective light-receiving area and output of the photovoltaic device can be increased and the number of process steps and materials can be decreased for cost reduction. The present invention also relates to the production method of the photovoltaic device.
