Efficiency improvement in thin-film solar cell devices with oxygen-containing absorber layer (2005)
Journal Article
Emziane, M., Durose, K., Halliday, D., Bosio, A., & Romeo, N. (2005). Efficiency improvement in thin-film solar cell devices with oxygen-containing absorber layer. Applied Physics Letters, 87(26), Article 261901. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2152108

The CdTe∕CdSCdTe∕CdSsolar cell devices were grown using a dry process consisting of sputtering for the transparent conducting oxide and CdS window layers, and close-space sublimation for CdTe absorber layer. These devices were back contacted using Mo... Read More about Efficiency improvement in thin-film solar cell devices with oxygen-containing absorber layer.

Role of substrate and transparent conducting oxide in impurity evolvement in polycrystalline thin-film devices (2005)
Journal Article
Emziane, M., Durose, K., Halliday, D., Bosio, A., & Romeo, N. (2005). Role of substrate and transparent conducting oxide in impurity evolvement in polycrystalline thin-film devices. Applied Physics Letters, 87(25), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2149990

A comparison of as-grown and processed CdTe/CdS solar cell structures deposited on sapphire substrate has been undertaken with those grown on glass. The device structures were depth-profiled using quantitative secondary ion mass spectrometry. It was...

The distribution of impurities in the interfaces and window layers of thin-film solar cells (2005)
Journal Article
Emziane, M., Durose, K., Halliday, D., Romeo, N., & Bosio, A. (2005). The distribution of impurities in the interfaces and window layers of thin-film solar cells. Journal of Applied Physics, 97(11), Article 114910. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1921344

We report a systematic multielement study of impurities in CdS window layers by dynamic and quantitative secondary-ion-mass spectrometry (SIMS) with high depth resolution. The study was carried out on CdTe/CdS solar cell structures, with the glass su... Read More about The distribution of impurities in the interfaces and window layers of thin-film solar cells.

A combined SIMS and ICPMS investigation of the origin and distribution of potentially electrically active impurities in CdTe/CdS solar cell structures (2005)
Journal Article
Emziane, M., Durose, K., Romeo, N., Bosio, A., & Halliday, D. (2005). A combined SIMS and ICPMS investigation of the origin and distribution of potentially electrically active impurities in CdTe/CdS solar cell structures. Semiconductor Science and Technology, 20(5), 434-442. https://doi.org/10.1088/0268-1242/20/5/019

Quantitative, dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) combined with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) was used to study the origin and distribution of impurities in CdTe/CdS/In2O3:F/glass solar cell structures. Particular em... Read More about A combined SIMS and ICPMS investigation of the origin and distribution of potentially electrically active impurities in CdTe/CdS solar cell structures.
