RESEARCH ON THIN FILM POLYCRYSTALLINE SOLAR CELLS.

Abstract

Studies of factors affecting the properties of polycrystalline CdTe film grown by the vapor reaction process are discussed and a variety of molybdenum substrates are compared. No real differences are found. Rough measures of temperature effects and tellurium flow rate on film growth rate are reported. The tailoring process was changed in two runs with efficiency markedly improved. The principal conclusion of a study of evaporated metal contacts is that gold is the best electrode material of the ten examined. (Author)
