Abstract
A hydrogen-containing amorphous silicon layer is formed on a substrate held below 200.degree. C., in a plasma atmosphere, whereupon the plasma is stopped and the layer is heated in a temperature range of 200.degree. C.-400.degree. C. without cooling the substrate. The saturation field for photocurrent of electrons or holes can be made low. In case of using electrons as major carriers, preferably the heating temperature is set in a temperature range of 200.degree. C.-240.degree. C., and in case of using holes as major carriers, preferably it is set in a range of 270.degree. C.-400.degree. C.
