Abstract
A deposition system for depositing a thin film photovoltaic cell on a flexible substrate comprises an enclosure that is fluidically isolated from an environment external to the enclosure, and a plurality of deposition chambers in the enclosure. At least one deposition chamber of the plurality of deposition chambers comprises a magnetron sputtering apparatus that directs a material flux of one or more target materials towards a portion of the flexible substrate that is disposed in the at least one deposition chamber of the plurality of deposition chambers. A substrate payout roller in the enclosure provides a flexible substrate that is directed through each of the plurality of deposition chambers to a substrate take-up roller in the enclosure. At least one guide roller in the enclosure is configured to direct the flexible substrate to or from a given deposition chamber among the plurality of deposition chambers.
