Abstract

A solar cell and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The solar cell includes a substrate that contains first impurities of a first conductive type and is formed of a crystalline semiconductor, a first field region that is positioned on an incident surface of the substrate and contains second impurities of a second conductive type, an emitter region that contains third impurities of a third conductive type, is formed of a non-crystalline semiconductor, and is positioned on a non-incident surface of the substrate opposite the incident surface of the substrate, a first electrode electrically connected to the emitter region, and a second electrode electrically connected to the substrate.
