Patent ID: 8273982

Claim:
A photoelectric converting device comprising: a first electrode layer having conductivity; a metal filled dielectric layer formed on said first electrode layer and comprising a dielectric base material in which a plurality of micropores are formed, and a plurality of conductive metal bodies made of a metal material which fills said plurality of micropores formed in said dielectric base material; a photoelectric converting layer that is formed on said metal filled dielectric layer and is made of a photoelectric converting material; and a second electrode layer having conductivity that is formed on said photoelectric converting layer; each of said metal bodies including a filler that fills a corresponding micropore formed in said dielectric base material, and a protruding unit that is formed on one end of each of said metal bodies and protrudes from said dielectric base material to within said photoelectric converting layer, each of said metal bodies being electrically connected to said first electrode layer on the other end of each of said metal bodies; said photoelectric converting layer covering said protruding unit of each of said metal bodies; at least one of said first electrode layer or said second electrode layer being a transparent conductive layer wherein light enters from the outside.
