    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally provide apparatuses and methods of substrate temperature control during thin film solar manufacturing. In one embodiment a method for forming a thin film solar cell over a substrate is provided. The method comprises performing a temperature stabilization process on a substrate to pre-heat the substrate for a substrate stabilization time period in a first chamber, calculating a wait time period for a second chamber, wherein the wait time period is bases on the availability of the second chamber, the availability of a vacuum transfer robot adapted to transfer the substrate from the first chamber to the second chamber, or a combination of both the availability of the second chamber and the availability of the vacuum transfer robot, and adjusting the temperature stabilization time period to compensate for the loss of heat from the substrate during the wait time period.
