Abstract

The object is to improve the conversion efficiency of a photoelectric conversion device. This object can be achieved by a photoelectric conversion device including an electrode and a semiconductor layer which is provided on one main surface of the electrode and contains a I-III-VI group compound semiconductor, wherein the semiconductor layer includes a connection layer that is located at a position on the one main surface side of the electrode and has a tendency that, the closer to the one main surface, the greater a quotient obtained by dividing an amount of substance of a I-B group element by an amount of substance of a III-B group element becomes.
