“…Miyake, et al [15] reported similar values of resistivity of the order . Hall effect measurement revealed that the thin film exhibited conductivity as the average hall coefficient value was found to be positive [19]. The bulk concentration of the Thin film value was observed to be of the order .…”

Thin films of Cadmium Sulphide (CdS) and Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) have gained a great deal of interest due to their potential applications in solar cells. Deposition of CdS and CdTe thin films were performed on Soda Lime glass and FTO substrate at 400℃ and 300℃ respectively using spray pyrolysis technique. The Hall Effect property was measured for the deposited CdS and CdTe films. These results shows the resistivity and mobility of CdS films deposited at 400℃ were 1.588×104 Ωcm and 5.619×102 cm2/Vs, respectively, The annealed CdTe thin film had a resistivity value of 1.016×104 Ωcm, while the annealed and etched CdTe thin film had a resistivity value of 4.52×104 Ωcm, The resultant films are observed to be good to make a solar cell with CdS as a window layer and CdTe as absorber layer.

“…One of the most common methods to develop a NP array is by using templates of anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) [17]. After the creation of an AAO template, thin films of CdS/CdTe can be deposited using chemical bath deposition [18,19], thermal evaporation [20], spray pyrolysis [21] or plasma deposition techniques. The disadvantage in using an AAO template is the etching of the template after the growth of a NP array that requires a highly basic sodium hydroxide which will decompose the inorganic compounds used in the PV device.…”

In this study we propose a new design to place the contacts for both p-type and n-type semiconductors at the bottom of solar cell to increase photons entering the absorber layer. The fabricated device contains periodic nanopillars of ∼243 nm radius and centre to centre pillar distance of ∼550 nm. In addition to the fabrication, thin films of n-CdS and p-CdTe have been characterised for their material properties at different annealing temperatures in this study. The X-ray diffraction pattern for CdTe and CdS revealed that the growth is preferentially along the (111) plane with a cubic zinc blend and cubic structure, respectively. Optimum absorption of the solar spectrum for a single junction solar cell occurs with the optical band gap of 2.36 eV for CdS and 1.45 eV for CdTe. The significance of the work creates a new beginning for the fabrication of textured thin film photovoltaic cell.
