Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the reliability of a solar battery device simplifying the manufacturing processes thereof by a method wherein one side of an amorphous silicon layer is formed into a specified gentle slope. CONSTITUTION:An amorphous silicon film 12 is formed using a mask 21 after mask-evaporating an electrode 11 such as aluminum etc. on a synthetic resin base substrate 10 made of polyimide etc. with flexibility. The amorphous silicon layer 12 makes evaporating particles spread easily due to its formation by sputter evaporation or plasma glow discharge process to be provided with a gentle slope 12a with a gentle angle theta1 as 21a by means of using a mask 21 with angle of 20-60 deg.. On the other hand, when the substrate 10 is arranged slanting on the evaporating source to be evaporated, the evaporating particles are flown in the arrow direction to make the surfaces 15 whereon the second electrodes 13 are not formed at all since the surfaces 15 are covered with the amorphous silicon layer 12 as shown by the broken lines. Consequently the second electrodes 13 may be patterned without using a mask.
