1. A system for fabricating solar cell devices, comprising:

  • a substrate receiving module that is adapted to receive a front substrate;

    a cluster tool having a processing chamber that is adapted to deposit a silicon-containing layer on a surface of the front substrate;

    a back contact deposition chamber configured to deposit a back contact layer on the silicon-containing layer;

    a bonding module configured to encapsulate the silicon-containing layer and the back contact layer between the front substrate and a back substrate into a composite structure;

    a sectioning module configured to section the composite structure into two or more sections; and

    a system controller for controlling and coordinating functions of each of the substrate receiving module, the cluster tool, the processing chamber, the back contact deposition chamber, the bonding module, and the sectioning module.
