Electroless Ni and NiTe sub(2) ohmic contacts for CdTe/CdS PV cells

The preparation and characterization of electroless Ni and NiTe sub(2) back-contacts to CdTe/CdS solar cells are described. NiTe sub(2), formed by a modification of the electroless Ni process, produces cells with PV properties superior (efficiencies > 10% have been obtained) to those contacted wi...

Zusammenfassung:The preparation and characterization of electroless Ni and NiTe sub(2) back-contacts to CdTe/CdS solar cells are described. NiTe sub(2), formed by a modification of the electroless Ni process, produces cells with PV properties superior (efficiencies > 10% have been obtained) to those contacted with electroless Ni. NiTe sub(2)-contacts offer promising cell-stability in dry air, but exhibit reversible degradation on exposure to ambient H sub(2)O vapor. copyright 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
