Abstract
An improved junction type photovoltaic element, characterized by having an organic semiconductor layer formed of a polysilane compound of 6000 to 200000 in weight average molecular weight which is represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## Wherein, R.sub.1 stands for an albyl group of 1 to 2 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 stands for an alkyl group, cycloalkyl group, aryl group or aralkyl group of 3 to 8 carbon atoms; R.sub.3 stands for an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; R.sub.4 stands for an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; A and A' respectively stands for an alkyl group, cycloalkyl group, aryl group or aralkyl group of 4 to 12 carbon atoms wherein the two substituents may be the same or different one from the other; and each of n and m is a mole ratio showing the proportion of the number of respective monomers versus the total of the monomers in the polymer wherein n+m=1, 0<n.ltoreq.1 and 0.ltoreq.m<1.
