ABSTRACT:
A pin heterojunction photovoltaic element which generates photoelectromotive force by the junction of a p-type semiconductor layer, an i-type semiconductor layer and an n-type semiconductor layer, characterized in that at least one of said p-type and n-type semiconductor layers comprises a polycrystal semiconductor film comprised of gallium atoms (Ga), phosphorus atoms (P), hydrogen atoms (H), optionally fluorine atoms (F), and atoms (M) of a p-type or n-type dopant element, said polycrystal semiconductor film contains crystal grains of an average size in the rage of 50 to 1000 .ANG., and said polycrystal semiconductor film contains the hydrogen atoms (H) in an amount of 0.5 to 5 atomic %; and said i-type comprises either (a) a non-single crystal semiconductor film containing silicon atoms (Si) as a matrix and at least one kind of atoms selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atoms (H) and fluorine atoms (F) or (b) a non-single crystal semiconductor film containing silicon atoms (Si) as a matrix, at least one kind of atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon atoms (C) and germanium atoms (Ge), and at least one kind of atoms selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atoms (H) and fluorine atoms (F).
