We investigate the electroweak phase transition in the presence of a large CPviolation in the squark sector of the MSSM. When the CP violation is large,scalar-pseudoscalar mixing of the Higgs bosons occurs and a large CP violationin the Higgs sector is induced. It, however, weakens first-order phasetransition before the mixing reaches the maximal. Even when the CP violation inthe squark sector is not so large that the phase transition is strongly firstorder, the phase difference between the broken and symmetric phase regionsgrows to O(1), which leads to successful baryogenesis, when the charged Higgsbosons is light.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, LaTeX2
