A photovoltaic device that exhibits increased open-circuit voltage and an improved fill factor due to an improvement in the contact properties between the n-layer and a back-side transparent electrode layer or intermediate contact layer, and a process for producing the photovoltaic device. The photovoltaic device comprises a photovoltaic layer having a p-layer, an i-layer and an n-layer stacked on top of a substrate, wherein the n-layer comprises a nitrogen-containing n-layer and an interface treatment layer formed on the opposite surface of the nitrogen-containing n-layer to the substrate, the nitrogen-containing n-layer comprises nitrogen atoms at an atomic concentration of not less than 1% and not more than 20%, and has a crystallization ratio of not less than 0 but less than 3, and the interface treatment layer has a crystallization ratio of not less than 1 and not more than 6. |
