    Abstract: A multilayer junction photoelectric converter and a multilayer junction photoelectric converter manufacturing method capable of preventing water from contacting a perovskite layer are provided. A multilayer junction photoelectric converter of an embodiment includes a multilayered-structure. In the multilayered-structure, a first electrode functional layer, a first photoactive layer, an intermediate functional layer, a second photoactive layer, and a second electrode functional layer are multilayered. The first photoactive layer is made of crystalline silicon. The second photoactive layer is made of a photoactive material having a perovskite crystal structure. A partial layer included in the second electrode functional layer is included in the multilayered-structure and extends on an edge surface of the multilayered-structure to cover an end portion of the second photoactive layer at the edge surface.
