CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishIn this paper we describe a vacuum evaporation deposition process where the substrate temperature does not exceed 450°C and we study a recrystallization process which avoids the use of CdCl2, which is a carcinogenic material, compared with the standard procedure. In our process CdS and CdTe are deposited at pressures of 10-6 mbar in the same chamber by thermal evaporation and with substrate temperature of 150°C and 340°C, respectively. The CdTe/CdS/TCO stacks are then put in a quartz chamber and, after having previously pumped the chamber down to 10-5 mbar, a controlled mixture of argon and chlorine containing gas are fluxed with a substrate temperature in a range between 400°C and 450°C. The morphological properties of the single layers are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the electrical properties of the finished devices will be presented by means of current-voltage (I-V) measurements.

| Abstract: | In this paper we describe a vacuum evaporation deposition process where the substrate temperature does not exceed 450°C and we study a recrystallization process which avoids the use of CdCl2, which is a carcinogenic material, compared with the standard procedure. In our process CdS and CdTe are deposited at pressures of 10-6 mbar in the same chamber by thermal evaporation and with substrate temperature of 150°C and 340°C, respectively. The CdTe/CdS/TCO stacks are then put in a quartz chamber and, after having previously pumped the chamber down to 10-5 mbar, a controlled mixture of argon and chlorine containing gas are fluxed with a substrate temperature in a range between 400°C and 450°C. The morphological properties of the single layers are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the electrical properties of the finished devices will be presented by means of current-voltage (I-V) measurements. | |
