NOVELTY - The continuous coating installation (100) has a laser crystallization system (122) for simultaneously illuminating at least one sub-partial area (132) of a currently coated partial area (130) of the surface (126) of a substrate (106) with at least one laser beam (124). A transport device (108) is configured for transporting the substrate in a feedthrough direction (136) from the supply opening (102) to the discharge opening (104) of a vacuum chamber (110), and for continuously or discontinuously moving the substrate during the coating process in the feedthrough direction.    USE - Continuous coating installation used in producing (claimed) nano-, micro-, poly-, multi-, or monocrystalline thin films and solar cells such as silicon tandem solar cell (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - Provides a continuous coating installation suitable for depositing high-quality crystalline thin films used in producing solar cells. Ensures that the continuous coating installation can be used for coating wide substrates. Ensures simultaneous illumination of several sub-partial areas, in which the scanning speed, either the feedthrough speed of the substrate or the deposition rate or both can be increased. Ensures increase in the throughput and reduction of the costs by virtue of less stringent requirements made of the optical system components.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The supply opening is formed on the vacuum chamber for supplying the substrate to be coated, while the discharge opening is formed for discharging the coated substrate. A physical vapor deposition device (112) is used for coating the surface of the substrate.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing is a schematic sectional view showing the basic illustration of the continuous coating installation for coating a substrate and subsequent laser crystallization of the deposited layer.
