Investigation of Physical Properties of e-Beam Evaporated CdTe Thin Films for Photovoltaic Application
CdTe thin films with 2.8 µm thickness were deposited by electron beam evaporation method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the films. The results of AFM analysis revealed that the CdTe films have uniform surface. CdTe thin films were heat-treated by SnCl2 solution. Structural analysis using XRD s...
متن کاملAdmittance spectroscopy of thin film solar cells
A short overview on thin film solar cells is given, and the complexity of their electronic structure is illustrated. Several physical mechanisms that give rise to a decay of the capacitance from a low-frequency value CLF to a high-frequency value CHF are discussed. A key of interpreting features in measured admittance spectroscopy (AS) spectra is a careful analysis of CLF and CHF and the temper...
متن کاملDLTS and admittance measurements on CdSyCdTe solar cells
Deep level states can affect the characteristics of thin film solar cells both by their charge and by their recombination. Hence, full solar cell characterisation should include deep states. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and admittance spectroscopy (AS) measurements (Y(f, T)) have been made on a series of CdTeyCdS thin film solar cells. Majority and minority trap DLTS was performed b...
متن کاملSnS Thin Film Solar Cells: Perspectives and Limitations
Thin film solar cells have reached commercial maturity and extraordinarily high efficiency that make them competitive even with the cheaper Chinese crystalline silicon modules. However, some issues (connected with presence of toxic and/or rare elements) are still limiting their market diffusion. For this reason new thin film materials, such as Cu2ZnSnS4 or SnS, have been introduced so that expe...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Polycrystalline Thin-Film PV Technologies
In the past 18 months, thin-film solar cell technologies based on CdTe and CIS have made significant technical progress. Most of the improvements have occurred at the level of solar cells, modules, systems, and reliability testing in both CdTe and CIS. Total-area efficiencies of 14.7% for a thin-film CdTe solar cell deposited on a low-cost, sodalime glass fabricated by Golden Photon, Inc; was v...
