Effect of Nanosized Tin Oxide Layer on the Efficiency of Photovoltaic Processes in Film Solar Cells Based on Cadmium Telluride
The influence of the thickness of the nanosized layer on the efficiency of photoelectric processes in solar cells (SC) ITO / SnO2 / CdS / CdTe / Cu / Au formed on different substrates was investigated. For device structures formed on the glass substrates, the maximum efficiency of 11.4 % is achieved...

| Summary: | The influence of the thickness of the nanosized layer on the efficiency of photoelectric processes in solar cells (SC) ITO / SnO2 / CdS / CdTe / Cu / Au formed on different substrates was investigated. For device structures formed on the glass substrates, the maximum efficiency of 11.4 % is achieved when thickness of the tin oxide layer is 80 nm. For flexible solar cells formed on a polyimide film, the maximum efficiency of 10.8 % is observed when thickness of the tin oxide layer is 50 nm. This paper discusses the physical mechanisms of the observed differences in efficiency. |
