Abstract

A study was performed on time-resolved photoluminescence measurements of CdTe solar cells. A measure of recombination near the CdTe/CdS metallurgical interface that was strongly correlated to the open-circuit voltage was provided by the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. It was found that the oxygen in the growth ambient during close-spaced sublimation generally reduced the recombination rate.
