In a stacked-layer type photoelectric conversion device, a plurality of
photoelectric conversion units are stacked on a substrate, each of which
includes a one conductivity-type layer, a photoelectric conversion layer
of substantially intrinsic semiconductor and an opposite
conductivity-type layer in this order from a light-incident side. At
least one of the opposite conductivity-type layer in a front
photoelectric conversion unit arranged relatively closer to the
light-incident side and the one conductivity-type layer in a back
photoelectric conversion unit arranged adjacent to the front
photoelectric conversion unit includes a silicon composite layer at least
in a part thereof. The silicon composite layer has a thickness of more
than 20 nm and less than 130 nm and an oxygen concentration of more than
25 atomic % and less than 60 atomic %, and includes silicon-rich phase
parts in an amorphous alloy phase of silicon and oxygen.
