SULFUR DIFFUSION IN POLYCRYSTALLINE THIN-FILM CdTe SOLAR CELLS
X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence measurements have been used to characterize the diffusion of S into CdTe during post growth annealing of CdTe solar cells. For anneals at 410°C in the presence of CdCl2, evidence that both a CdTe1-xSx phase and nearly-pure CdTe are present near the back contact is observed. The ternary phase becomes more prominent and the S concentration increases with de...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Computer Model for Polycrystalline Thin-Film CuInSe2 and CdTe Solar Cells
Many thin film heterojunction solar cells contain an interface between the emitter and base which is a very high recombination region and which effectively prevents the passage of minority carriers. However, by utilizing proper design techniques which will be discussed here, the problem can be minimized; efficient thin film heterojunction solar cells can be fabricated, even though they contain ...
متن کاملp-Doping limit and donor compensation in CdTe polycrystalline thin film solar cells
Experimental evidence shows that non-shallow acceptor states defect complex VCd ClTe 0= and Cu substitution of Cd CuCd 0= play critical roles in p-doping of CdTe in CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells. In this work, two equations are presented by using graphic method, one to determine the limit of p-doping or hole density for such non-shallow acceptor levels, and another to show the quantitative rel...
متن کاملEnhanced electrical properties at boundaries including twin boundaries of polycrystalline CdTe thin-film solar cells.
The effect of grain boundaries (GBs), in particular twin boundaries (TBs), on CdTe polycrystalline thin films is studied by conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM), electron-beam-induced current (EBIC), scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Four types of CdTe grains with various densities of {11...
متن کاملPOLYCRYSTALLINE THIN FILM SOLAR CELLS: Present Status and Future Potential
Polycrystalline thin film solar cells based on copper indium diselenide (CuInSe2) and its alloys and cadmium telluride (CdTe) appear to be the most promising candidates for largescale application of photovoltaic energy conversion because they have shown laboratoryefficiencies in excess of 15%. Heterejunction devices with n-type cadmium sulfide (CdS) films show very low minority carrier recombin...
