以下、実施例に基づき本発明をより具体的に説明するが、本発明は以下の実施例に限定されるものではない。
チャンバー内で白板ガラス基板上に、裏面側の第1透明電極としてITO透明導電膜、その上にSbドープしたSnO2透明導電膜を堆積する。透明な第1透明電極が形成された部材を1×10−3[Pa]以下になるまでチャンバー内を減圧する。次に、酸素とアルゴンガスの雰囲気中でスパッタリング法により光電変換層として亜酸化銅化合物を2μm成膜する。そして、25℃で30分大気雰囲気で保管した後に、大気の酸素濃度と水蒸気濃度を減らして得た低酸素雰囲気(温度25℃、酸素濃度:1.5×10−7[g/L]、水蒸気濃度:1.2×10−6[g/L])に1時間保管する。その後、室温でスパッタリング法によりp−亜酸化銅層上にn型のZn0.8Ge0.2Oを堆積し、その後、表面側の第2透明電極としてAZO透明導電膜を堆積する。その上に反射防止膜として、MgF2を堆積する。
表1に実施例、参考例及び比較例の保管条件をまとめて示す。表1に示した条件で実施例1と同様に実施例2−36、参考例1、比較例1−5の太陽電池を作製する。なお、実施例41と比較例5は、p−亜酸化銅層上にn型のZn0.8Ge0.2Oの代わりにIn0.7Ga0.3Sを堆積している。
