Abstract

PURPOSE:To transmit infrared rays to prevent self-exothermicity by enlarging the energy band width of a P type and an N type semiconductor layers larger than that of an I type semiconductor layer in a photoelectric converter having a PIN structure. CONSTITUTION:A photoelectric converter is constituted of a phototransmitting substrate 15, photo-transmitting electrodes 16, 19, an I type semiconductor layer 20, P type semiconductor 22 on the side of luminous irradiation and an N type semiconductor 23 on the back side thereof. By enlarging the energy band widths of the layers 22, 23 larger than that of the layer 20, infrared rays can be permeated without absorption thereof thereby realizing no self-exothermicity.
