Abstract

Solar cell devices of the structures CdS/CdTe and CdS/HgCdTe, based on II-VI semiconductor thin films have been fabricated and analyzed. CdS thin films were deposited by the recently established novel deposition technique, namely, 'Photochemical deposition' and the Cd rich HgxCd1−xTe films used for the device fabrication were deposited by the conventional ‘electrochemical deposition’ technique. First solar cell devices of the structures CdS/CdTe and CdS/HgCdTe using photochemically deposited CdS films, were fabricated and analyzed for the conversion efficiency.
