Abstract

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a crystalline silicon-based photoelectric conversion device having a first intrinsic silicon-based layer, a p-type silicon-based layer and a first transparent electroconductive layer, positioned in this order on one surface of a conductive single-crystal silicon substrate, and having a second intrinsic silicon-based layer, an n-type silicon-based layer and a second transparent electroconductive layer, positioned in this order on the other surface of the conductive single-crystal silicon substrate. In the present invention, a heat treatment is carried out after at least one of the transparent electroconductive layers is formed. This heat treatment is carried out at a temperature of less than 200° C. under a hydrogen-containing atmosphere.
