摘要
CdTe films for solar cell application were prepared at various growth temperatures by a vacuum evaporation system having close spacing between the source and substrate. The CdTe thin films had a cubic structure highly oriented with the (1 1 1) direction perpendicular to the substrate surface, regardless of the growth temperature. The crystallites are of random shape and reach up to about 2 mum in size with increasing growth temperature. The higher growth temperature contributed to the reduction of dark resistivity from 6 x 10(7) Ohmcm cut at room temperature to 5.4 x 10(6) Ohmcm at 300degreesC. The photovoltaic properties of the CdS/CdTe solar cell were considerably improved with the increase in the growth temperature, which was caused by the increase of (1 11) texture and grain size in CdTe films.
