“…They also reported that, following 6 months of storage at room temperature and open-circuit conditions, there was no appreciable variation in cell parameters, and only a slight increase in V oc and Ͻ1% decrease in fill factor ͑ff͒ was observed following accelerated stress ͑10 sun illumination at 60°C͒. Miles et al have recently reported the formation of low resistance Ni back contacts to CdTe/CdS solar cells 11,13,14 by electroless deposition, employing hypophosphite ͑H 2 PO 2 Ϫ , abbreviated to HP͒ as the active reductant. The harsh anneal treatment required ͑250°C in air for 90 min͒ suggests that cells contacted with this material are stable under some stress conditions.…”

“…As can be seen, increasing the As dopant concentration by more than two orders of magnitude results in a decrease in CPD, from 0.276 to 0.067 V and an increase in the absolute values of CdTe (based on the HOPG reference) from 3.88 to 4.09 eV. Although, the absolute CdTe values are low compared to literature values where CdTe is typically quoted between 5.5 and 5.9 eV [12,13], this observation highlights the difficulties of determining accurately the absolute values of the bulk work function using the SKPM technique in ambient air, when the formation of surface states leading to surface band bending is highly probable.

“…[17]. Οι Ghosh et al [64], στα πλαίσια της διαπίστωσης ότι μιά αξιόπιστη -θερμοδυναμικά σταθερή -μεταλλουργία επαφής ζεύξης είναι το κλειδί για την εκτεταμένη αξιοποίηση των ηλιακών στοιχείων CdTe, προτείνουν μιά νέα, χαμηλού κόστους, τεχνολογία με αναμενόμενη εφαρμογή σε εμπορικές διατάξεις μεγάλης κλίμακας. Οι ερευνητές υποστηρίζουν ότι με τη τεχνολογία που αναπτύσσουν, επιτυγχάνονται οι υψηλότερες, γνωστές στη βιβλιογραφία, τιμές ρευμάτων βραχυκύκλωσης.…”
