Patent Images
1. A method of manufacturing a solar cell, comprising:
- forming a light-absorbing layer between two electrodes which are disposed to face each other; and
forming an electrical polarization layer having a thickness of 10 nm to 100 nm, which includes an electrical polarization material forming a built-in electric field, on the light-absorbing layer, wherein the solar cell is free from a buffer layer as replaced by the electrical polarization layer,wherein the electrical polarization layer is formed by a process comprising;
forming a metal oxide layer on one surface of the light-absorbing layer; and
causing a chemical reaction between the light-absorbing layer and the metal oxide layer, the chemical reaction forming the electrical polarization material of the electrical polarization layer,wherein the metal oxide layer is comprised of a metal oxide having a compound including titanium(Ti) or both of titanium(Ti) and copper(Cu).
