Abstract
A method for manufacturing a solar cell having preparing a semiconductor substrate having a dielectric film on at least a first main surface, partially removing the dielectric film of the semiconductor substrate, and forming an electrode along a region where the dielectric film is partially removed, including measuring relative positional relationship between a position of a region where the dielectric film is partially removed and a position of the formed electrode in the semiconductor substrate after partially removing the dielectric film and forming the electrode, wherein for a newly prepared semiconductor substrate having a dielectric film on at least a first main surface, the dielectric film is partially removed after adjusting a position of a region based on the measured positional relationship. This improves the yield ratio of the solar cell by reducing positional displacement between the region where the dielectric film is partially removed and the electrode.
