ABSTRACT:
A method for making a photovoltaic device includes the steps of: (a) forming a transparent conductive layer on a substrate, (b) putting the surface of the transparent conductive layer into contact with an ionized inert gas, and (c) forming a semiconductor layer thereon. The transparent conductive layer is formed such that in the cross-section of the transparent conductive layer, a mean distance between relative minimum points is 2,000 nm or less and a mean tilt angle between a surface line originated from a measuring point and a base line connecting to the nearest two adjacent relative minimum points over the entire measured region is 5.degree. or more.
