The Cu_2O homojunction was formed by epitaxially growing a manganese-doped Cu_2O (Cu_2O:Mn) thin film on thermally oxidized polycrystal-line p-type sodium-doped Cu_2O (p-Cu_2O:Na) sheets by electrochemical deposition. A significant improvement of photovoltaic properties was achieved in solar cells fabricated by inserting a Cu_2O:Mn thin film between an Al-doped ZnO (AZO) transparent electrode and p-Cu_2O:Na sheets. The photovoltaic properties obtained in AZO/Cu_2O:Mn/p-Cu_2O:l« solar cells were controlled by changing the Mn content doped into the Cu_2O:Mn thin film. An efficiency of 4.21% was obtained in an AZO/Cu_2O:Mn/p-Cu_2O:Na solar cell fabricated with a Cu_2O:Mn thin film that was identified as an i-type semiconductor.
