II–VI/Si tandem solar cells have strong potential for high efficiency at low cost by combining the two most widely used solar cell materials: silicon and cadmium telluride (CdTe). However, there are challenges with this merger, as loss of minority-

Copper is a traditional dopant for many types of polycrystalline thin-film CdTe photovoltaic devices. However, Cu can easily distribute through the depth and breadth of the device, segregating at interfaces or grain boundaries and leading to metastab

For decades, copper has been used to improve the performance of cadmium telluride thin film solar cells. However, it has also been shown to be the main cause of metastability in CdTe. Recently a low activation energy has been reported for the thermal

Cadmium telluride and silicon are among the widely used absorber materials in photovoltaic industry. A tandem solar cell of these two can absorb significant portion of solar spectrum to yield high efficiency due to the added voltage of the two solar

For decades, Cu has been the primary dopant in CdTe photovoltaic absorbers. Typically, Cu acceptor concentrations in these devices are on the order of 1 × 1014 cm−3, which has made it notoriously difficult to directly correlate nanoscale Cu distri

An intricate look is taken at the methods used to account for variance in minority-carrier lifetime in the silicon bottom cell of II-VI/Si tandem solar cells. A discussion on the modeling is provided. Lateral wafer variance is determined to be much l

Passivation of dangling bonds at surfaces and interfaces is an essential feature of high-efficiency solar cells. The high recombination activity of surface states in III-V semiconductors typically requires epitaxial growth of high-bandgap layers to s
