摘要
We present in this work the processing and characterization of two semiconductor thin films (ZnS and ZnxCd1-xO) grown by chemical bath deposition (CBD), and used as heterojunction partners on CSVT-CdTte films. The photovoltaic properties of the ZnxCd1-xO/CdTe heterojunction are reported here for the first time. The analysis of the basic properties of the films was carried out by standard optical and electrical characterization techniques. The heterojunction systems were studied by means of I-V characteristics, spectral response and quasi-static C-V measurements. Short-circuit currents of 8.9 and 22 mA/cm(2), open-circuit voltages of 0.489 V and 0.324 V, All factors of 0.29 and 0.42 and conversion efficiencies of 1.26 and 3.12% were obtained for SnO2/Zn0.9Cd0.1/CdTe and SnO2/ZnS/CdTe, respectively, under normalized 100 mW/cm(2) illumination (AM1).
