ABSTRACT:
Provided are a photovoltaic element suitable for practical use, low in cost, high in reliability, and high in photoelectric conversion efficiency, and a fabrication process thereof. In the photovoltaic element having stacked layers of non-single-crystal semiconductors, at least an i-type semiconductor layer and a second conductivity type semiconductor layer are stacked on a first conductivity type semiconductor layer, and the second conduction type semiconductor layer has a layer A formed by exposing the surface of the i-type semiconductor layer to a plasma containing a valence electron controlling agent and a layer B deposited on the layer A by a CVD process using at least the valence electron controlling agent and the main constituent elements of the i-type semiconductor layer.
