Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a photoelectric conversion device comprising a first electrode, a unit cell, and a second electrode over a substrate, comprising the steps of: forming a plasma region between an upper electrode and a lower electrode by supplying high-frequency power of 60 MHz or less to the upper electrode under a condition where a pressure of a reactive gas in a reaction chamber of a plasma CVD apparatus is set to greater than or equal to 450 Pa and less than or equal to 13332 Pa and a distance between the upper electrode and the lower electrode of the plasma CVD apparatus is set to greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 20 mm; forming crystalline deposition precursors in a gas phase including the plasma region; forming a crystal nucleus of greater than or equal to 5 nm and less than or equal to 15 nm by depositing the crystalline deposition precursors over the substrate; and forming at least one of a first semiconductor film, a second semiconductor film and a third semiconductor film in the unit cell, by growing a crystal from the crystal nucleus, wherein a first conductive type of the first semiconductor film and a second conductive type of the third semiconductor film are different from each other.
