    Abstract: A method for forming thin films or layers of cadmium telluride (CdTe) for use in photovoltaic modules or solar cells. The method includes varying the substrate temperature during the growth of the CdTe layer by preheating a substrate (e.g., a substrate with a cadmium sulfide (CdS) heterojunction or layer) suspended over a CdTe source to remove moisture to a relatively low preheat temperature. Then, the method includes directly heating only the CdTe source, which in turn indirectly heats the substrate upon which the CdTe is deposited. The method improves the resulting CdTe solar cell reliability. The resulting microstructure exhibits a distinct grain size distribution such that the initial region is composed of smaller grains than the bulk region portion of the deposited CdTe. Resulting devices exhibit a behavior suggesting a more n-like CdTe material near the CdS heterojunction than devices grown with substrate temperatures held constant during CdTe deposition.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于形成用于光伏模块或太阳能电池的碲化镉（CdTe）薄膜或层的方法。 该方法包括通过预先悬浮在CdTe源上的衬底（例如，具有硫化镉（CdS）异质结或层）的衬底）来在CdTe层的生长期间改变衬底温度以将水分除去至相对较低的预热温度。 然后，该方法包括仅直接加热CdTe源，CdTe源又间接加热沉积CdTe的衬底。 该方法提高了CdTe太阳能电池的可靠性。 所得到的微结构显示出不同的晶粒尺寸分布，使得初始区域由比沉积的CdTe的体区部分更小的晶粒组成。 所得到的器件表现出一种行为，表明在CdS异质结附近存在更多n型CdTe材料，而不是CdTe沉积期间衬底温度保持不变的生长。
