Chemical vapor deposition of cadmium tellurium films for photovoltaic devices

Creators

Description

Cadmium telluride films have been deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and close-spaced sublimation (CSS), and their structural and electrical properties have been characterized in detail. The CVD technique has the advantage of controlling the electrical resistivity of p-CdTe films while the CST technique is capable of depositing p-CdTe films at high rates. Thin film heterojunction solar cells of the configuration p-CdTe/CdS/SnO/sub 2/:F/glass have been prepared by the deposition techniques. Solar cells of 1 cm/sup 2/ or larger in area with AM1.5 (global) efficiency of 10.5% have been prepared
