Abstract

A method of manufacturing a solar cell, includes forming a rounded uneven member having a rounded end portion at a second surface of a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and the second surface opposite to each other, forming conductive regions comprising forming a first conductive region at the first surface of the semiconductor substrate and forming a second conductive region on the second surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the second conductive region comprises a semiconductor layer different and separated from the semiconductor substrate and forming electrodes comprising forming a first electrode electrically connected to the first conductive region and forming a second electrode electrically connected to the second conductive region.
