Abstract
PURPOSE:To suppress trapping of the minority carrier, and to enhance the optical responding speed of photoelectric converter by a method wherein at both the sides of an I type amorphous silicon film, the same conductive type layer to make the trap for the minority carrier to be recombined are joined. CONSTITUTION:An N type amorphous silicon layers 2 and an I type amorphous silicon layer 1 are formed being laminated in the direction A of film formation repeatedly with a short period alternately between electrodes on a substrate. As a result, the N type amorphous silicon layers 2 are provided as the recombination layers for the minority carrier on both the sides of the I type amorphous silicon layers 1. By this constitution, the tunnel effect is generated at the junction part, and the problem of band bending is not generated. Moreover the minority carrier out of the photo carrier generated in the I type amporphous silicon layer 1 is recombined in the N type amorphous silicon layer 2 after injected light is made to OFF.
