摘要
Experimental evidence shows that non-shallow acceptor states defect complex V-cd-Cl-Te vertical bar(0/-) and Cu substitution of Cd Cu-cd vertical bar(0/-) play critical roles in p-doping of CdTe in CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells. In this work, two equations are presented by using graphic method, one to determine the limit of p-doping or hole density for such non-shallow acceptor levels, and another to show the quantitative relationship of n-type donor compensation of p-type acceptors in such a material.
