Abstract
A solar battery device includes a semiconductor substrate and a covering part. The semiconductor substrate has a first semiconductor region and a second semiconductor region. The first semiconductor region is a first-conductivity-type semiconductor region located on a first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The second semiconductor region is a second-conductivity-type semiconductor region different from the first-conductivity-type and located on a second surface opposite from the first surface. The covering part is located on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The covering part has a laminated portion in which a plurality of layers including a passivation layer and an antireflection layer are present in a laminated state. In the laminated portion, the passivation layer includes a region in which a thickness decreases from an outer peripheral portion toward a central part of the first surface.
