摘要：

This paper describes work investigating high rate cadmium telluride (CdTe) film deposition by close-space vapor transport, leading to 4 cm**2 tin oxide/CdTe solar cells of efficiency greater than 10%. Under a 100 mw cm** minus **2 air mass 1. 5 global spectrum, a cell of efficiency 10. 5% had a short-circuit current of 28. 1 ma cm** minus **2, an open circuit voltage of 0. 663 v and a fill factor of 0. 563. Our major achievements include (1) the use of completely non-vacuum processing, (2) the fabrication of simple transparent conductive oxide/CdTe cells without need of a CdS window layer, and (3) screen-printed back contacts.
