A process for producing a photovoltaic device that can improve the power generation characteristics of a solar cell having a heterojunction composed of a p-type crystalline Ge (substrate), an i-type amorphous silicon semiconductor layer, and an n-type amorphous silicon semiconductor layer. A process for producing a photovoltaic device (100) comprising a heterojunction cell (1) prepared by sequentially stacking an i-type amorphous silicon semiconductor layer (12) and an n-type amorphous silicon semiconductor layer (13) on top of a substrate (p-type crystalline Ge (11)), the process comprising a PH3 exposure treatment stage of adjusting the temperature of the substrate (11), from which a surface oxide film has been removed, to a prescribed temperature, and subsequently placing the substrate in a vacuum chamber and exposing the substrate to PH3, an i-layer deposition stage of depositing the i-type amorphous silicon semiconductor layer (12) on the PH3-exposed substrate, an n-layer deposition stage of depositing the n-type amorphous silicon semiconductor layer (13) on the i-type amorphous silicon semiconductor layer (12), and an electrode formation stage of forming electrodes (2, 3, 4) on the surface of the n-type amorphous silicon semiconductor layer, and on the back surface of the substrate (11).
