Abstract

The characteristics of the CdTe polycrystalline films grown by the new technique of double process-close-space vapor transport technique are presented. This process can be divided in two steps: at the first step, a graphite source boat packed with CdTe powder acts as the CdTe source and other graphite block with or without Corning glass cover is used as auxiliary substrate. At the second step, the film deposited in the first step over graphite block or Corning glass is used as CdTe source. Different substrates were used to obtain polycrystalline CdTe films. We describe the oxygen and temperature influences on the structural and the morphological properties of different films: CdTe/glass, CdTe/SnO2/glass and CdTe/CdS/SnO2/glass.
