Abstract
Thin films of CdS and CdTe are deposited using electrochemical methods for utilisation in glass/ITO/CdS/CdTe/metal solar cells. Resulting fi lms are characterised by XRD for determination of bulk structure, opti cal absorption/transmission for energy band gap measurements and XPS f or monitoring the stoichiometry of the materials. These results and th e photovoltaic properties of the preliminary structures fabricated wit h these films are discussed and presented in this communication.
