Optimization of Sb-Doped CdSeTe Solar Cells

Abstract
The effect of high-temperature annealing (HTA) treatments and Cd-excess during the in-situ doping of CdSeTe:Sb is investigated. Optimized treatments eliminate the wurtzite phase from the as-deposited CdSeTe layer, while facilitating Se intermixing and grain size enhancement before CdC12 treatment. The improved device stack quality results in a VOC improvement of 250 mV. VOC is further improved by tuning the Cd/Sb flux ratio during CdSeTe:Sb deposition. The lowest defect concentration is achieved at Cd/Sb of 1.4:1, which produced the best VOC CdSeTe:Sb cell with VOC = 849mV, despite a decreased carrier concentration due to the harsh CdC12 treatment.
