Relationship of Open-Circuit Voltage to CdTe Hole Concentration and Lifetime
Journal Article
·
· IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics
We investigate the correlation of bulk CdTe and CdZnTe material properties with experimental open-circuit voltage (Voc) through fabrication and characterization of diverse single-crystal solar cells with different dopants. Several distinct crystal types reach Voc >900 mV. Correlations are in general agreement with Voc limits modeled from bulk minority-carrier lifetime and hole concentration.
