An n layer, an i layer and a p layer are laminated, in that order, in a non-single-crystal thin film solar cell. The n layer, a part of the n layer, or the n layer and part of the i layer, is formed at a low substrate temperature T . The i layer and the p layer; the residual n layer, i layer and p layer; or the residual i layer and p layer, are formed at a higher substrate temperature T than T . More particularly, T is between about 70° C. and 120° C., and T is between about 120° C. and 450° C.
