A thin-film photoelectric conversion device includes a crystalline germanium photoelectric conversion layer having improved open circuit voltage, fill factor, and photoelectric conversion efficiency for light having a longer wavelength. The photoelectric conversion device comprises a first electrode layer, one or more photoelectric conversion units, and a second electrode layer sequentially stacked on a substrate, wherein each of the photoelectric conversion units comprises a photoelectric conversion layer arranged between a p-type semiconductor layer and an n-type semiconductor layer. At least one of the photoelectric conversion units includes a crystalline germanium photoelectric conversion layer comprising a crystalline germanium semiconductor that is substantially intrinsic or weak n-type and is essentially free of silicon. A first interface layer which is a substantially intrinsic amorphous silicon semiconductor layer is arranged between the p-type semiconductor layer and the crystalline germanium photoelectric conversion layer. |
