Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022017565A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a solar cell, comprising the following steps: a) providing a substrate (2) having a front side (21) and a back side (22) in a deposition apparatus (1), and b) coating the substrate (2) in situ with two layers, comprising b1) oxidizing, by exposing the substrate to an oxygen-containing gas and a first plasma, to create an oxide layer (3) and b2) subsequently depositing a silicon layer (4) or SiC layer by exposure to a gas containing silicon, an optional gas containing carbon and a second plasma, wherein step b) is carried out under vacuum in the deposition apparatus (1) and the vacuum is maintained continuously during step b).
