Development of ZnTe-Based Solar Cells

Abstract:

ZnTe solar cells with homojunction and heterojunction structures have been developed. Homojunction was fabricated by thermal diffusion of Al into p-ZnTe, and the effect of the diffusion temperature on the photovoltaic (PV) properties was investigated. The highest efficiency was obtained by lowering the diffusion temperature and using p-ZnTe substrate with a low hole concentration. For the heterojunction solar cell, n-ZnO/i-ZnTe/p-ZnTe structure was fabricated, and PV properties were characterized.
