Abstract
A method of manufacturing a photovoltaic device having a plurality of a photoelectric converting regions formed on an insulating surface of a substrate electrically connected in series, comprises the steps of dividing a first large area electrode layer on an insulating surface of a substrate into a plurality of first electrode layer portions corresponding to a plurality of photoelectric converting regions, depositing in succession a film-like photoelectric semiconductor layer and a second electrode layer lying continuously on the divided first electrode layers, and removing portions of the photoelectric semiconductor layer and the second electrode layer formed continuously to divide them into a plurality of portions corresponding to the plurality of the photoelectric converting regions.
