Abstract

See full text

The invention discloses a method and an apparatus for production of series-connected thin-film solar cells on rigid substrates. A semi-finished product having a rigid mount substrate is arranged on a receptacle, and is introduced into a deposition chamber having a deposition device. Furthermore, a masking device having at least one masking means, which is in the form of a strand and is prestressed in the longitudinal direction, is applied to a surface of the semi-finished product facing the deposition device, wherein the masking means which is in the form of a strand preferably has a plurality of filaments which rest on one another. In order to structure a material layer to be deposited, the surface of the semi-finished product is partially shadowed by means of the masking device with respect to the deposition device.
