Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a multi-junction photoelectric conversion device includes forming a first electrode on a first photoelectric conversion unit including a first semiconductor layer as a photoelectric conversion layer, the first electrode including a plurality of patterned regions separated from one another by separation grooves; and eliminating a leakage existing in the first semiconductor layer by applying a reverse bias voltage between one of the patterned regions of the first electrode and a second photoelectric conversion unit comprising a second semiconductor layer as a photoelectric conversion layer. The application of the reverse bias voltage is performed while irradiating the second photoelectric conversion unit with light, generating a photocurrent in the second photoelectric conversion unit that is larger than a photocurrent in the first photoelectric conversion unit.

Claim (Index 4):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the second semiconductor layer is a crystalline semiconductor substrate.
