Defect Study of Group V Doped CdTe By Thermoelectric Effect Spectroscopy

Santosh Swain, Kelvin Lynn

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

Shallow acceptors in single crystal CdTe induced by Group V (P, As, and Sb) doping are identified by thermoelectric effect spectroscopy (TEES). Understanding defects in Group V doped CdTe is critical to improving and controlling the acceptor density and lifetime in the absorber material which is an important factor determining the open circuit voltage and efficiency in CdTe solar cells.
