Abstract
A glass sheet semiconductor deposition system () for coating semiconductor material on glass sheets is performed by conveying the glass sheets vertically suspended at upper extremities thereof by a pair of conveyors () through a housing () including a vacuum chamber (). The glass sheets are conveyed on shuttles () through an entry load station () into the housing vacuum chamber (), through a heating station () and at least one semiconductor deposition station () in the housing (), and to a cooling station () prior to exiting of the system through an exit load lock station (). The semiconductor deposition station construction includes a deposition module () and a radiant heater () between which the vertical glass sheets are conveyed for the semiconductor deposition.
