Patent ID: 7875486

Claim:
A method of forming an solar cell device on a substrate, comprising: depositing two or more layers on a first substrate, wherein depositing the two or more layers comprises: forming an intrinsic type layer over a surface of the first substrate in a processing chamber; and forming a first doped layer on the intrinsic layer formed on the first substrate; passivating a surface of a chamber component disposed in a processing region of the processing chamber after depositing the two or more layers on the first substrate, wherein passivating the surface of the chamber component comprises depositing a passivation layer comprising silicon over the surface of the chamber component; depositing two or more layers on a second substrate, wherein depositing the two or more layers comprises: forming an intrinsic type layer over a surface of the second substrate in the processing chamber; and forming a first doped layer on the intrinsic layer formed on the second substrate; and seasoning a surface of the chamber component after depositing the two or more layers on the first and second substrates, wherein seasoning the surface of the chamber component comprises: removing an amount of material from the chamber component using a cleaning gas; and depositing a seasoning layer comprising silicon over the surface of the chamber component.
