Abstract:
1. A photoelectric conversion device, which includes a photoelectric conversion unit formed by laminating a p-type layer containing a p-type dopant, an i-type layer that is a microcrystalline silicon layer employed as an electricity-generating layer, and an n-type layer containing an n-type dopant, characterized in that: the p-type layer has a laminated structure of a first p-type layer, which is a microcrystalline silicon layer, and a second p-type layer, which is located between the p-type microcrystalline silicon layer and the i-type layer, and which includes at least one of a p-type amorphous silicon layer and a p-type amorphous silicon carbide layer, wherein the second p-type layer includes an oxide layer on a side close to the i-type layer.
