The deposition thickness of the photoelectric conversion layer 230 may depend on the needs of the user. Next, a plurality of second openings T2 are formed on the photoelectric conversion layer 230 to expose = a portion of the first conductive layer 220, as shown. In the present embodiment, the second opening 2 is formed by, for example, a laser process, an etching process, or a mechanical force removal process. Then, the protective layer 250 is formed on the sidewall SW of the second opening ,2, as shown by 4F. In the present embodiment, a method of forming the protective layer 25A is performed by plasma treatment of c〇2 to oxidize the photoelectric conversion layer 23 on the side wall SW of the second opening T2 to form the above-mentioned protective layer 25〇. . In this embodiment, can the plasma treatment be changed by C?2? Process parameters such as time, gas pressure, output power, etc., to adjust the thickness of the protective layer 25〇. In this embodiment, the thickness of the protective layer 25A is substantially between 〇1 nm and 10 nm. In some embodiments, the thickness of the protective layer 25〇14 201104882 31089twf.doc/n substantially It is preferably between 1 nm and 5 nm. Further, in some embodiments, the protection 250 may be formed using a method of forming an auto-oxidation layer. Further, in detail, before performing the step of FIG. 4F, a thin oxide layer may be formed before the photoelectric conversion layer 230 (opposite side of the first conductive layer 220), such as, for example, performing c〇2 plasma. When P is processed, it is less likely to form an excessively thick oxide layer above the photoelectric conversion layer 23 to increase the series resistance between the photovoltaic elements 2〇2. In other embodiments, the thickness of the oxide layer above the photoelectric conversion layer 23〇 may also be reduced, for example, by grinding or otherwise, after the plasma treatment of p. The above is only one of the ways to form the protective layer 230. In another embodiment, a protective layer 250 having the above materials may be formed on the sidewall SW by other suitable processes. Then, the second conductive layer 240 is formed on the photoelectric conversion layer 230, wherein the first conductive layer 240 is electrically connected to the first conductive layer 220 through the second opening T2, as shown in FIG. 4G. Wherein, the second conductive layer is generally used as the upper electrode of the plurality of photovoltaic elements 202. In the present embodiment, the method of forming the second electrical layer 240 is, for example, using the above-described sputtering method, metal organic gas vaporization method, or steaming method, and the material thereof is, for example, the aforementioned transparent conductive layer material. I will not repeat them here. Subsequently, the steps shown in Fig. 4H can be selectively performed. As shown in FIG. 4, for example, a plurality of third openings T3 may be formed by using a laser process, an etching process, or a mechanical force removal process, wherein each of the third openings 3 exposes the conductive layer 220. So far, the production process of the thin film moon cell 200 shown in Fig. 2 above is completed. 201104882 3108Vtwt..doc/i\ It should be noted that if the second conductive layer 240 is a laminated structure, such as a transparent conductive layer and a reflective layer, and the first conductive layer 22 is a transparent conductive layer. In this case, a transparent conductive layer can be formed on the semiconductor laminate 23, and the reflective layer can be formed on the transparent conductive layer by performing the above-mentioned step 4 of FIG. 4H to form a single-sided illumination. Thin film solar ^ also. In addition, the first conductive layer 220 may also be a laminated structure, such as: a laminate of f and a transparent conductive layer, and thus a thin-film solar cell that can be axially coated, and the manufacturing method thereof can be referred to the above. Again, it is desirable that the second conductive layer can only be a transparent conductive layer. '来+ϋΓ: Since the present invention _ thin film solar cell has a protective layer between the two conductive layers of the second layer, when the thin film solar 1 battery is irradiated by the helium, the light will be difficult to change in the photoelectric conversion layer.
