Abstract

A p type amorphous silicon layer is stacked, by a CVD method, on a main surface of an n type single-crystalline silicon substrate; an n type amorphous silicon layer is stacked, by the CVD method, on a surface opposite to the surface on which the p type amorphous silicon layer is stacked; and, by using a laser ablation processing method, through-holes are formed in the n type single-crystalline silicon substrate, the p type amorphous silicon layer, and the n type amorphous silicon layer. Subsequently, an insulating layer is formed on an inner wall surface of each of the through-holes, and then a conductive material is filled therein.
