Abstract
The information in this report was originally compiled to serve as a chapter in a photovoltaic reference book. The particular focus of this chapter was on the development of low-cost photovoltaic materials, namely CuInSe{sub 2} and CdTe{endash}two leading polycrystalline thin film materials exhibiting high efficiencies and low production costs. Both materials demonstrate significant potential as usable technologies in the commercial market. While the primary focus of this review is on the characteristics of these materials, the authors also provide a look at key methods for making these materials as well as for making added layers that are required for completing a device. In addition, the authors discuss related issues to specific materials (e.g., availability, stability, toxicity) and to each approach (e.g., advantages and drawbacks).
