Polycrystalline thin-film InP/CdS solar cell

We report the preparation of a polycrystalline thin-film InP/CdS solar cell of area 0.52 mm2 having a power conversion efficiency of 2.8% under AM1 conditions. Based on the current-voltage characteristics, we estimate that development of an improved contact to the p-type InP would result in substant...

Zusammenfassung:	We report the preparation of a polycrystalline thin-film InP/CdS solar cell of area 0.52 mm2 having a power conversion efficiency of 2.8% under AM1 conditions. Based on the current-voltage characteristics, we estimate that development of an improved contact to the p-type InP would result in substantially higher efficiencies without any further improvement in the InP/CdS interface.
