The features of the photoconductivity activation of the CdTe thin films by cadmium halogenides mixtures

Abstract

The effect of annealing temperature in the presence of mixtures of cadmium chloride and cadmium iodide of different composition on the electrophysical properties of CdTe thin films was studied. This process, in which, as a rule, cadmium chloride is used, is called “activation”. It allows you to significantly improve the efficiency of solar cells based on CdTe. In this paper was found that it is possible to reduce the temperature of this process from 450 to 300 °C by replacing CdCl2 with a mixture of the composition ~60 mol% CdCl2 to ~40 mol% CdI2.
Key words: solar cells, photoconductivity activation, cadmium telluride, building integrated photovoltaics.
