Abstract

CdTe semiconductor thin film as absorbent material needs to be recrystallized, in order to improve the electrical and crystalline properties of this material. CdCl ₂ thermal treatment was used to reduce the defects between CdS and CdTe thin films that helps to obtain the physical properties require. On the other hand, CdCl ₂ treatment leads a special blue color in the CdTe surface. The electrical properties of CdTe are influenced for this coloration and confirm a close correlation between the quality of interfaces and its photovoltaic efficiency on CdTe solar cells. A systematic characterization was made to understand the blue color origin. This study revealed TeO _X on the CdTe surface.
