Preparation and Properties of Evaporated CdTe Films Compared with Single Crystal CdTe: Progress Report No. 2; February 1 - April 30, 1981

    Research output: NRELSubcontract Report

    Abstract

    The design, construction and testing of the hot-wall vacuum evaporation system is proceeding on schedule. The vacuum system, a Varian 3118 diffusion pump system, has been installed and tested. The present schedule calls for first trial deposition with the completed apparatus by the end of August. Initial investigation of the properties of grain boundaries in p-type CdTe:P crystals indicates agrain boundary height of 0. 44 eV unaffected by illumination. These results suggest that grain boundaries are more strongly pinned in p-type than in n-type CdTe.
