    Abstract: An improved pin junction photovoltaic element which causes photoelectromotive force by the junction of a p-type semiconductor layer, an i-type semiconductor layer and an n-type semiconductor layer, characterized in that at least said i-type semiconductor layer comprises a member selected from the group consisting of a ZnSe:H deposited film containing the hydrogen atoms in an amount of 1 to 4 atomic % and crystal grain domains in a proportion of 65 to 85 vol % per unit volume and a ZnSe1-xTex:H deposited film containing the hydrogen atoms in an amount of 1 to 4 atomic % and crystal grain domains in a proportion of 65 to 85 vol % per unit volume and also containing the selenium atoms and the tellurium atoms in a Se/Te quantitative ratio of 1:9 to 3:7 in terms of number of atoms. The pin junction photovoltaic element exhibits an improved photoelectric conversion efficiency for short-wavelength light and has a high open-circuit voltage. The pin junction photovoltaic element does not cause any undesirable light-induced fatigue even upon continuous use for a long period of time.

    Abstract: A method for continuously forming a functional deposited film with a large area according to a microwave plasma CVD process is described. The method comprises the steps of continuously traveling a band-shaped member containing a conductive member along its length during which a pillar-shaped film-forming space capable of being kept substantially in vacuum therein is established by the use of the traveling band-shaped member as a side wall for the film-forming space, charging starting gases for film formation through a gas feed means into the film-forming space, and simultaneously radiating a microwave through a microwave antenna in all directions vertical to the direction of movement of the microwave so that microwave power is supplied to the film-forming space to initiate a plasma in the space whereby the film is deposited on the surface of the continuously traveling band-shaped member which constitutes the side wall exposed to the plasma. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also described.

    Abstract: A method for continuously forming a large area functional deposited film by a microwave plasma CVD process, said method comprises: continuously moving a substrate web in the longitudinal direction; establishing a substantially enclosed film-forming chamber having a film-forming space by curving and projecting said moving substrate web to form a columnar portion to be the circumferential wall of said film forming chamber on the way moving; introducing a film-forming raw material gas through a gas feed means into said film-forming space; at the same time, radiating or propagating microwave energy into said film-forming space by using a microwave applicator means capable of radiating or propagating said microwave energy with a directivity in one direction of microwave energy to propagate to generate microwave plasma in said film-forming space, whereby continuously forming a functional deposited film on the inner face of said continuously moving circumferential wall to be exposed to said microwave plasma. An apparatus suitable for practicing said method.
