Abstract
Provided is a photoelectric conversion device fabrication method that realizes both high productivity and high conversion efficiency by rapidly forming an n-layer having good coverage. The fabrication method for a photoelectric conversion device includes a step of forming a silicon photoelectric conversion layer on a substrate by a plasma CVD method. In the fabrication method for the photoelectric conversion device, the step of forming the photoelectric conversion layer includes a step of forming an i-layer formed of crystalline silicon and a step of forming, on the i-layer, an n-layer under a condition with a hydrogen dilution ratio of 0 to 10, inclusive.
