Abstract

AbstractInterdiffusion of sulfur and tellurium across the CdS/CdTe interface is fundamentally important in the operation of CdTe solar cells. However, the properties of the resulting alloy semiconductor, CdSxTe1-x, are not well understood. We have prepared films of this ternary material by pulsed excimer laser deposition (PLD) across the alloy range. These films were examined by x-ray diffraction, wavelength dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, optical absorption, and Raman scattering to determine the influence of sulfur content on the crystal structure, lattice constant, energy gap, and vibrational mode behavior.
