摘要
Development of II-VI ternary alloys is an important avenue for increasing the efficiency of the CdTe-based solar cells. Cd1-xZnxTe ternary alloys offer a wide range flexibility in band gap and are potential candidates for the use both as an absorber and back contact buffer layers. This work investigates the stability of Cd1-xZnxTe under CdTe processing conditions. In particular, the effects of chlorine treatment step are studied using both standard CdCl2 and Cl-2 gas methods. X-ray diffraction study shows presence of Te in the Cl-2 gas treated samples, while no Te is detected in CdCl2 treated samples.
