摘要：
An investigation of the effects of annealing thin film CdTe/CdS/ITO/glass photovoltaic cells in air after prior exposure to CdCl2 has been made. The influence of this on the efficiency, current transport mechanism, grain size and microstructure of the films has been studied. A CdCl2 treatment reduces the,influence of interfacial states on the current transport mechanism, causes grain growth in the CdS and CdTe and also decreases the density of stacking faults and dislocations in the CdTe. However, it introduces Cl-rich precipitates into the lattice. Cross-section and plan-view TEM evidence is presented and the usefulness of moire fringe analysis is highlighted.
