Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for manufacturing a thin film solar cell of the present invention includes a film forming chamber in which a film is formed on a film formation face of a substrate using a CVD method; an electrode unit including a cathode unit having cathodes to which voltages are to be applied arranged on both sides thereof, and a pair of anodes each of which is arranged to face a different one of the cathodes, at a separation distance therefrom; a mask for covering a peripheral edge portion of the substrate; and a discharge duct installed around the cathode unit. A film formation space is formed between the cathode unit and the substrate installed on the side of the anode, an evacuation passage is formed between the mask and the cathode unit, the discharge duct and the film formation space are connected together via the evacuation passage, and a film forming gas introduced into the film formation space is evacuated from the discharge duct through the evacuation passage.
