ABSTRACT:
A photosensitive device including a laminate member incorporating a PIN junction where at least the portions of the I layer adjacent the P and N layers are crystallized and the P and N layers are non-single-crystalline where the degree of crystallization of the portions of the I layer is greater than that of the P and N layers. At least one of the P and N layers is made of silicon carbide and the I layer is photoannealed and contains one atom % or less oxygen. In one embodiment, the device is a tandem device including first and second photoelectric conversion devices where the second device is formed on the first device and where the first device has the same characteristics as the above described laminate member.
