Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing method of a photoelectric conversion device in which no plane channeling is produced even if ions are injected at a certain elevation angle into a semiconductor substrate surface made of silicon. A manufacturing method of a photoelectric conversion device including a silicon substrate and a photoelectric conversion element on one principal plane of the silicon substrate, wherein the principal plane has an off-angle forming each angle θ with at least two planes perpendicular to a reference (1 0 0) plane within a range of 3.5°≦θ≦4.5°, and an ion injecting direction for forming an semiconductor region constituting the photoelectric conversion element forms an angle φ to a direction perpendicular to the principal plane within a range of 0°<φ≦45°, and further a direction of a projection of the ion injecting direction to the principal plane forms each angle α with the two plane direction within a range of 0°<α<90°.
