Abstract

CdTe/CdS poly-crystalline thin film solar cells are characterized by means of dark current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements, both as a function of temperature. The studied CdTe/CdS solar cells were fabricated using a novel gaseous thermal treatment in the presence of chloride. I-V curves analysis allows us to extract information about carrier transport phenomena as a function of temperature. From C-V curves we can obtain the doping profiles and analyze the traps levels distribution in the absorber material.
