“…Textured surfaces have an advantage of a light-trapping due to their reduced reection and increased optical path length in reection or absorption. The solar cells can be textured using a photolithographic technique [9], chemical and electrochemical etching [10,11] and reactive ion etching (RIE) [12,13].…”

We report on reduction of optical losses in n-CdTe/p-ZnTe thin-lm solar cells grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The investigated thin-lm devices were grown from elemental sources on monocrystalline, semi-insulating, (100)-oriented GaAs substrates. The optical losses have been reduced by a texturing of the device surface and by depositing of a ZnO antireection coating. Currentvoltage and spectral characteristics of the investigated p-ZnTe/n-CdTe solar cells depend signicantly on the preparation of the surface of the ZnTe window. We describe a procedure of chemical etching of the ZnTe window leading to surface texturing. A ZnO layer of proper thickness deposited by low-temperature atomic layer deposition technique on the ZnTe surface forms an eective antireection coating that leads to the reduction of optical losses. Due to reduction of the optical losses we observe increase of the short-circuit current, JSC, by almost 60% and of the energy conversion eciency by 44%.
