Popis: A photovoltaic cell with carbonaceous thin film/n‐type silicon (C/n‐Si) was fabricated utilizing a process in which a carbonaceous thin film was deposited on an n‐type silicon substrate by chemical‐vapor deposition of 2,5‐dimethyl‐p‐benzoquinone at 500 °C. Under illumination of 15 mW cm−2 light with wavelengths between 400 and 800 nm (xenon arc lamp), a power conversion efficiency (η) of 6.45% was achieved from this photovoltaic cell. This C/n‐Si cell has shown a normalized short‐circuit‐current efficiency of more than 0.85 under illumination of 30 μW cm−2 monochromatic light from 500 to 950 nm.
