Abstract

A method for manufacturing an absorber layer of thin film solar cells is revealed. Firstly vapors of different metal-organic sources are generated in a plurality of containers used for mounting different metal-organic sources. Then the vapors of the metal-organic sources are mixed with a carrier gas and are filled into a reaction together with a reaction gas chamber through pipelines. Next the metals and the compounds are deposited on a substrate in the reaction chamber to form an absorber layer of a thin film solar cell. A flow rate of each metalorganic vapors filled into the reaction chamber is controlled by a mass flow controller respectively.
