Abstract
A method for manufacturing a stacked photoelectric conversion device includes forming an intermediate transparent conductive layer on a light-receiving surface of a crystalline silicon-based photoelectric conversion unit including a crystalline silicon substrate, and forming a thin-film photoelectric conversion unit on the intermediate transparent conductive layer. The stacked photoelectric conversion device includes the crystalline silicon-based photoelectric conversion unit, the intermediate transparent conductive layer, and the thin-film photoelectric conversion unit. The light-receiving surface of the crystalline silicon-based photoelectric conversion unit has a textured surface including a plurality of projections and recesses. The textured surface has an average height of 0.5 μm or more. The intermediate transparent conductive layer fills the recesses of the textured surface and covers the tops of the projections of the textured surface. At least a part of the thin-film photoelectric conversion unit is deposited by a wet method.
