PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION DEVICE

摘要

A highly-efficient photoelectric conversion device is provided without complicating the manufacturing process. The photoelectric conversion device includes a unit cell having a semiconductor junction, in which a first impurity semiconductor layer having one conductivity type, a semiconductor layer including a first semiconductor region having a larger proportion of a crystalline semiconductor than an amorphous semiconductor and a second semiconductor region having a larger proportion of an amorphous semiconductor than a crystalline semiconductor and including both a radial crystal and a crystal having a needle-like growing end in the amorphous semiconductor, and a second impurity semiconductor layer having a conductivity type opposite to the conductivity type of the first impurity semiconductor layer are stacked in this order.
