Abstract

A method for producing a solar cell, including the following steps: a) providing a substrate having a front side and a back side in a deposition apparatus, and b) coating the substrate in situ with two layers, including b1) oxidizing, by exposing the substrate to an oxygen-containing gas and a first plasma, to create an oxide layer and b2) subsequently depositing a silicon layer 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 and the vacuum is maintained continuously during step b).
