Understanding the grain growth mechanism in CdS thin films by CdCl2 treatment and thermal annealing evolution

Suman Kumari et al.

Summary: The study explored the micro-structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of post chloride-treated CdS thin films, showing improvements in crystallinity, crystal size, and optical performance. The treated films exhibited ohmic behavior and a direct optical energy band gap in the range of 2.09-2.38 eV, making them potential candidates for efficient window layers in Cd-based solar cell devices.

Comparison of the impact of different chlorination treatments to ZnS and CdS thin films

Ali Ciris et al.

Summary: This study examines the effects of ZnCl2 and CdCl2 treatments on the properties of ZnS and CdS thin films. It is found that CdCl2 treatment can change the structure and surface morphology of CdS, while ZnCl2 has an unfavorable effect on ZnS. CdCl2 treatment affects the transmittance of CdS, while ZnCl2 treatment improves the transmittance of ZnS. Different emission types increase in CdS/CdCl2 and decrease in CdS/ZnCl2.

High-efficiency CdTe-based thin-film solar cells with unltrathin CdS:O window layer and processes with post annealing

Anhong Hu et al.

Summary: The thickness of the CdS:O window layer is crucial for the performance of CdTe-based thin-film solar cells. Thinner layers enhance short wavelength response but may degrade V-oc and FF. This study demonstrates high efficiency cells with ultrathin CdS:O layers using a post annealing process.
