If the pressure is 500 Torr or more, it is easy to suppress mixing of gases other than the introduced gas into the discharge part. If the pressure is 800 Torr or less, it is easy to suppress the plasma-treated gases from colliding with each other and reducing the surface treatment effect of the film.
- the atmosphere temperature during the glow discharge treatment is not particularly limited and is preferably 0 to 60 ° C, more preferably 10 to 40 ° C.
- the electric field applied to the discharge electrode and the counter electrode is preferably a pulsed electric field (hereinafter referred to as “pulse electric field”) having a voltage rise time of 10 ⁇ sec or less. If the voltage rise time is 10 ⁇ sec or less, the discharge state can be prevented from shifting to arc discharge, and the glow discharge treatment can be performed stably.
- the voltage rise time of the pulse voltage is more preferably 5 ⁇ sec or less. As the voltage rise time is shorter, the gas is more easily ionized and becomes plasma, and glow discharge is more likely to occur. However, the voltage rise time is a time during which the voltage change is continuously positive.
- the voltage fall time of the applied electric field is preferably as short as the voltage rise time, and the rise time and the fall time are preferably set to the same time.

- the pulse duration can be adjusted by the frequency of the electric field pulse. However, the pulse duration is the time during which the pulses are continuous. For example, if each pulse is an intermittent pulse that is separated, the pulse duration is the same as the pulse width time. When a plurality of pulses are continuous, the pulse duration is the same as the sum of the pulse width times of the series of continuous pulses.
- the electric field strength of the applied electric field is preferably 10 to 1,000 kV / cm, more preferably 100 to 300 kV / cm. If the electric field strength is 10 kV / cm or more, the gas is easily turned into plasma by glow discharge. If the electric field strength is 1000 kV / cm or less, it is easy to suppress the occurrence of arc discharge.
- the frequency of the pulse voltage is preferably 0.5 to 100 kHz, more preferably 5 to 50 kHz. When the frequency of the pulse voltage is 0.5 kHz or more, the discharge density of the glow discharge is improved and the time required for the surface treatment is shortened. If the frequency of the pulse voltage is 100 kHz or less, the discharge state can be prevented from shifting to arc discharge, and the glow discharge treatment can be performed stably.
- the glow discharge treatment using a pulsed electric field is preferably performed a plurality of times with an interval of 0.01 seconds or more.

More preferred. If the discharge density of each glow discharge treatment is 40 W ⁇ min / m 2 or more, nitrogen functional groups and oxygen functional groups are easily introduced. Further, when the discharge density is less than that, the number of functional groups to be introduced is extremely small. If the discharge density of each glow discharge treatment is 200 W ⁇ min / m 2 or less, the adhesion obtained by the surface treatment can be easily maintained for a long period of time.
- the increase in the temperature of the fluororesin film to be treated is reduced, and the temperature once increased between each discharge treatment is reduced. Therefore, the movement of the oligomer component to the surface layer due to heat is suppressed.
- the amount of oligomer components generated due to the breakage of the carbon-carbon bond of the fluororesin on the surface layer is reduced. Therefore, the oligomer component is reduced on the surface layer of the fluororesin film, and oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms are easily introduced into the fluororesin itself, not into the oligomer component having a weak binding force.
- a known electrode structure can be freely adopted as the structure of the discharge electrode and the counter electrode used for the glow discharge.
- a curved electrode or a flat electrode is used as the counter electrode.

- a solid dielectric having a relative dielectric constant of 10 or more (relative dielectric constant in an environment at 25 ° C., the same shall apply hereinafter). Examples of the solid dielectric having a relative dielectric constant of 10 or more include metal oxides such as zirconium dioxide and titanium dioxide, and double oxides such as barium titanate.
- Titanium dioxide is known as a ferroelectric, and in the case of a titanium dioxide single composition, the relative dielectric constant differs depending on the crystal structure, and the relative dielectric constant is about 80 for the rutile crystal structure. Further, a dielectric composition having a relative dielectric constant of about 2000 to 18500 is obtained by using a mixed composition of at least one selected from metal oxides such as Ba, Sr, Pb, Ca, Mg, and Zr and titanium dioxide. The body is obtained. That is, the relative dielectric constant can be changed depending on the type and ratio of other oxides to be mixed and the crystallinity. Titanium dioxide alone has a drastic compositional change in a heating environment, restricts the use environment, and is difficult to handle when formed as a film on an electrode. Therefore, it is preferable to use a mixed composition composed of 5 to 50% by mass of titanium dioxide and 50 to 95% by mass of aluminum oxide with improved thermal stability.
- Zirconium dioxide when used alone, has a relative dielectric constant of about 12 and is advantageous for generating a discharge plasma at a low voltage. Moreover, it is good also as a mixed composition with another metal oxide.
- the relative dielectric constant can be changed depending on the type and ratio of other oxides to be mixed and the crystallinity.

- the thickness of the solid dielectric on the discharge electrode side is appropriately determined depending on the thickness of the substrate to be processed and the applied voltage, but is preferably 0.01 to 4 mm. If it is too thick, a high voltage is required to generate plasma discharge. If it is too thin, dielectric breakdown occurs when voltage is applied, and arc discharge occurs.

- silicon rubber is effective.
- the surface material for a solar cell of the present invention contains an ultraviolet absorber.
- an ultraviolet absorber is contained in the surface material, not in the filler.
- the ultraviolet absorbent in the present invention is characterized by containing cerium oxide. If it is cerium oxide, it does not have a photocatalytic action like titanium oxide, so even if it is contained in the fluororesin film, the fluororesin film is discolored to reduce the light transmittance or reduce the mechanical strength. Does not cause such problems. Further, as will be apparent from the examples described later, cerium oxide absorbs less light in a wavelength region of 350 nm or more, which has high collection efficiency in power generation by a solar cell. On the other hand, ultraviolet rays on the low wavelength side (especially less than 350 nm) that have a large influence on the functional group have sufficient absorbency.
- the functional group in the discharge-treated fluororesin can be protected from ultraviolet rays without substantially impairing the power generation efficiency.
- zinc oxide and the like are also known as ultraviolet absorbers that do not have a photocatalytic action.
- zinc oxide has a large absorption with respect to light of 350 to 360 nm that can obtain a certain degree of collection efficiency in power generation of a solar cell. For this reason, if zinc oxide is used as a UV absorber for a solar cell surface material, sufficient power generation efficiency cannot be obtained.

If the particles are evenly dispersed, the particles are very familiar with distilled water and the degree of methanol hydrophobization is 0%. If the particles are not uniformly dispersed, methanol is gradually added dropwise until the particles are uniformly dispersed in the aqueous solution.
- the preferred degree of methanol hydrophobicity required differs depending on the type of fluororesin, and in the case of ETFE, it is preferably 40 to 70%.
