Abstract
Solar cells (SCs) based on cadmium-telluride base layers, obtained by thermal evaporation and closed-space sublimation (CSS), are investigated. The base layers are activated via annealing in Freon. Structural and morphological studies are carried out to compare the recrystallization processes occurring during annealing in CdTе layers fabricated by different methods. The output parameters and light diode characteristics of the SCs are investigated, and the possibility of applying Freon annealing in the commercial production technology of thin-film CdS/CdTе SCs with base layers formed by thermal vacuum evaporation is analyzed.
