- the thickness of the transparent conductive layer is in the range of 0.05 to 5 / ⁇ ⁇ , the surface will not crack.
- Light transmittance force The value when the thickness of the transparent conductive layer is 0.7 / zm is set to 1. When the value exceeds 0.6, the sheet resistance, and when the transparent conductive layer thickness is 0.7 m, the value is less than 1000, preferably 1. Furthermore, if the thickness of the transparent conductive layer is in the range of 0.2 to 2 / ⁇ ⁇ , the light transmittance is 0 when the value when the thickness of the transparent conductive layer is 0.7 m is 1. A value exceeding 9, a sheet resistance, and a value when the thickness of the transparent conductive layer was 0.7 / zm was 5 or less when the value was 1, confirming that it was more preferable. Industrial applicability
- the present invention it is possible to reduce the resistance of the electrode substrate, and it is also possible to suppress deterioration of characteristics due to leakage from the metal wiring to the electrolyte and corrosion of the metal wiring layer.
- the photoelectric conversion element used suitably for a solar cell can be provided.
