Abstract
This letter describes the fabrication and characteristics of high‐efficiency thin‐film CdS/CdTe heterojunction solar cells. CdS films have been prepared by chemical bath deposition and p‐CdTe films have been deposited by close‐spaced sublimation. A CdS/CdTe solar cell of greater than 1 cm2 area with an AM1.5 efficiency of 15.8% is reported.Keywords
