An apparatus and method for manufacturing photoelectric conversion elements, and a photoelectric conversion element, the apparatus and method being capable of highly efficiently forming a film at a high speed with microwave plasma, preventing oxygen from mixing, and reducing the number of defects. The invention provides a photoelectric conversion element manufacturing apparatus 100 that forms a semiconductor stack film on a substrate by using microwave plasma CVD. The apparatus includes a chamber 10 which is a enclosed space containing a base, on which the a subject substrate for thin-film formation is mounted, a first gas supply unit 40 which supplies plasma excitation gas to a plasma excitation region in the chamber 10, a pressure regulation unit 70 which regulates pressure in the chamber 10, a second gas supply unit 50 which supplies raw gas to a plasma diffusion region in the chamber 10, a microwave application unit 20 which applies microwaves into the chamber 10, and a bias voltage application unit 60 which selects and applies a substrate bias voltage to the substrate W according to the type of gas.
