Abstract: A conventional thin-film photoelectric converter using amorphous germanium or crystalline silicon as a photoelectric conversion layer is problematic in that light having a long wavelength of 1100 nm or more cannot be used for photoelectric conversion, and is inefficient. The problem is solved by a thin-film photoelectric converter including one or more photoelectric conversion units each having a photoelectric conversion layer sandwiched between a p-type semiconductor layer and an n-type semiconductor layer, wherein the photoelectric conversion layer of at least one photoelectric conversion unit includes an intrinsic or weak n-type crystalline germanium semiconductor, and the absorption coefficient of infrared-absorption peak at wave number of 935±5 cm−1 of the crystalline germanium semiconductor is less than 6000 cm−1. The problem is also solved by a thin-film photoelectric converter having acrystalline germanium semiconductor whose absorption coefficient of infrared-absorption peak at wave number of 960±5 cm−1 is less than 3500 cm−1.
