Abstract :
Thin film CdS/CdTe solar cells were fabricated by close space sublimation (CSS). The influence of the Te layer and a different chloride solutions treatment of the CdTe layer before and after Te layer deposition is studied. A proper comparison of the two CdS/CdTe solar cells would conclude that the cell with Te has the superior current because of the larger blue photosensitivity distribution, but has an inferior open circuit voltage in relation to the absorber band gap
