Studies on CdTe films deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique

Optimization of physical properties of vacuum evaporated CdTe thin films with the application of thermal treatment for solar cells

“…[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Thermal vacuum evaporation is chosen to fabricate CdTe thin films in this work because it has advantages such as most productive, very high deposition rate, low material consumption and low cost of operation.…”

Physical properties of vacuum evaporated CdTe thin films with post-deposition thermal annealing

“…They found that the crystallite size and refractive index were increased with film thickness. The effect of substrate temperature on structural and photoluminescence properties of CdTe films was carried out by Ghosh et al [11] using pulsed laser deposition technique and they observed that the grain size was increased with substrate temperature. Li et al [12] reported preparation and characterization of novel CdTe thin films deposited on Ni substrates in aqueous media employing facile electrochemical technique.…”

Microstructure Analysis of Cdte/CDS Thin-Film Solar Cells for Optimization of Devices Fabricated at Low Temperature With Pulsed Laser Deposition

“…[23][24][25] The selection rules are that for (110) CdTe the TO mode is allowed, but the LO is not. [23,26]CdTe with (111) orientation can have both the TO and LO mode. The post annealed CdTe appears to have a small peak at the 169 cm -1 shift, but this peak is notprominent as in the CdTe grown directly at 400 ºC.…”
