<p>A method for manufacturing solar cells, more specifically thin-film solar cells, comprising a substrate on which a multi-layer strcture is formed comprising depositing a layer consisting of a compound of several basic substances, such as copper-indium-diselenide (CuInSe2) or a closely-related compound where copper (Cu) and indium (In) can be replaced totally or partially with silver (Ag) and gallium (Ga) respectively, and where Se can be replaced totally or partially with sulphur (S) and tellerium (Te), and where the concentration of basic substances in said layer varies. The invention is characterized in that the substrate (1) is placed on the inside (11) of a rotatable, generally cylindrical carrier device (10); in that the substrate is heated; in that substance sources (13, 14, 15) are provided for depositing said basic substances on the substrate; and in that one or more of the basic substances is deposited by passing respective sources (14, 15) axially through the cylindrical carrier device (10), by moving the cylindrical carrier device (10) and/or respective sources (14, 15) while rotating the cylindrical carrier device. Particularly intended are thin-film solar cells on which CuInSe2 is deposited.</p> |
