Abstract

A photoelectric conversion device comprising at least a metal layer, a transparent conductive layer disposed on said metal layer, and an active semiconductor layer disposed on said transparent conductive layer, characterized in that said transparent conductive layer comprises a layer having an uneven surface which is composed of a zinc oxide material having an X-ray diffraction pattern in which (a) the peak intensity of the (2,0,0) planes of ZnO.sub.2 is 1/200 or less of (b) the peak intensity of the (0,0,2) planes of ZnO and (c) the peak intensity of the (1,0,1) planes of Zn is 1/200 or less of the peak intensity (b).
