A method of manufacturing a tandem-type thin film photoelectric conversion
device includes the steps of forming at least one photoelectric
conversion unit (3) on a substrate (1) in a deposition apparatus, taking
out the substrate (1) having the photoelectric conversion unit (3) from
the deposition apparatus to the air, introducing the substrate (1) into a
deposition apparatus and carrying out plasma exposure processing on the
substrate (1) in an atmosphere of a gas mixture containing an impurity
for determining the conductivity type of the same conductivity type as
that of the uppermost conductivity type layer (33) and hydrogen, forming
a conductivity type intermediate layer (5) by additionally supplying
semiconductor raw gas to the deposition apparatus, and then forming a
subsequent photoelectric conversion unit (4).
