Formation of ZnTe:Cu/Ti Contacts at High Temperature for CdS/CdTe Devices

The conclusions of this report are that Cu diffusion from a ZnTe:Cu contact causes good and bad things. The good (Cu in CdS < low 10{sup 18} cm{sup -3})--increase in CdTe N{sub A}-N{sub D} that leads to V{sub oc} and FF improvement. The bad (Cu in CdS > low 10{sup 18} cm{sup -3})--(1) possibly decreased of shunt resistance (?); (2) depletion width in CdTe can become too narrow for optimum current collection at J{sub MPP}; (3) donor reduction in CdS (significant FF loss in LIV); and (4) excessive Cu diffusion into CdS readily observed by red-light bias QE.

Silicon Heterojunction Solar Cell Characterization and Optimization Using In Situ and Ex Situ Spectroscopic Ellipsometry

The summary of this report is that: in situ SE gives insight into growth mechanisms and accurate layer thickness; (2) ex situ SE measures completed device structures to determine integrated optical properties; and (3) the combination of in situ and ex situ SE provides a powerful method for pinpointing the effects of processing changes in actual SHJ devices and guiding optimization.
