Abstract

We present in this work the processing of large area CdS and CdTe thin films. We have been working for this purpose with a Radio-Frequency Planar Magnetron Sputtering (RF-PMS) system with two 6-inch balanced guns, processing thin films in areas as large as 450 cm² grown on soda-lime glasses. Conducting glasses (SnO₂ of 7 Ω/□) were also used only for CdS deposition in order to further analyze the heterojunction CdS/CdTe. The best films have been processed with substrate temperatures (T_s) of 250°C for CdS and 215°C for CdTe; Ar chamber-pressure of 20 mtorr, radio frequency power of 300 W, and different deposition time between target materials.
