摘要
From 1995, Matsushita Battery Co., Ltd has been developing a low cost and efficient technologies to fabricate thin-film CdS/CdTe solar cell. Earlier, we have reported a conversion efficiency of 10.5% for a middle size sub-module (1376 cm(2)) [1] and 16.0% efficiency for 1cm(2) cells [2]. We report here a highly efficient large area CdS/CdTe solar cell (11.0%o, 5413cm(2)) sub-module. The key technologies to fabricate the high efficiency modules are the suppression of the diffusion of F ion into CdS layer, CdTe stoichiometry, the film thickness and uniformity of all the constituent layers such as SnO2:F, CdS and CdTe prepared under atmospheric pressure conditions.
