Subject : Fabrication and characterization of CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells 
Document Language : Arabic 
Abstract : The proposed research project is aimed at fabricating thin-film CdS/CdTe solar cells. The cells will be prepared by thermal evaporation of Cadmium Sulfide and Cadmium Telluride films onto glass substrates coated with transparent conducting oxide (TCO). The back contacts will be of either gold or aluminum. In order to make more efficient back contacts the surface of Cadmium Telluride film will be annealed in air at 300oC. A Cadmium Chloride film will also be introduced between the CdTe layer and the back contact to produce high efficiency solar cells. The devices will have a structure of; Au/CdTe/CdS/TCO/glass. They will be characterized by the I-V-T and C-V-T techniques. Both, dark and illuminated characteristics will be studied. From the characteristics the device parameters like the ideality factor, saturation current density, built-in voltage, Series resistance, and Open circuit voltage, short circuit current, the fill factor and the doping density in the lightly doped side will be determined.
