Abstract
A semiconductor thin film comprises an n-type compound semiconductor layer including at least one element from each of groups Ib, IIIb, VIb and II. A solar cell using this semiconductor thin film comprises a substrate and a rear electrode, a p-type compound semiconductor layer, an n-type compound semiconductor layer, an n-type semiconductor layer, a window layer, and a transparent conductive film, formed in this order on the substrate. The n-type compound semiconductor layer including at least one element from each of groups Ib, IIIb, VIb and II has a high carrier density.
