Methods of sputtering cadmium sulfide layers for use in cadmium telluride based thin film photovoltaic devices
Methods are generally provided of sputtering a cadmium sulfide layer on a substrate. The cadmium sulfide layer can be sputtered on a substrate from a target in a sputtering atmosphere, wherein the target comprises about 75% to about 100% by weight cadmium, and wherein the sputtering atmosphere compr...

Summary: | Methods are generally provided of sputtering a cadmium sulfide layer on a substrate. The cadmium sulfide layer can be sputtered on a substrate from a target in a sputtering atmosphere, wherein the target comprises about 75% to about 100% by weight cadmium, and wherein the sputtering atmosphere comprises a sulfur-containing source gas. The cadmium sulfide layer can be used in methods of forming cadmium telluride thin film photovoltaic devices. |
