Abstract

This program is concerned with the investigation of the materials properties of CdTe thin films deposited by hot-wall vacuum evaporation and of CdTe single crystalline material, particularly those relevant to solar cell applications in which CdTe is the absorbing member. Progress is reported on: (a) an evaluation of CdTe homojunctions formed by HWVE of CdTe by Walter Huber at the laboratory of Dr. Adolfo Lopez-Otero at the Institut fuer Physik of the University of Linz, using single crystal p-type CdTe from Stanford as a substrate; (b) the design and construction of a HWVE apparatus at Stanford; and (c) properties of grain boundaries in large grain polycrystalline CdTe.
