摘要
The microstructures of chemical bath deposited CdS and electrodeposited CdTe polycrystalline thin films, in n-CdS/p-CdTe solar cells, were studied. In both CdS and CdTe, the effect of grain size, re-crystallisation and interdiffusion are linked to the tin oxide/glass substrate and deposition control. Optical characterisation and device measurements are used to qualify these changes in the context of solar cell fabrication. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
