ABSTRACTA prototype monolithic HgCdTe/CdTe superstrate tandem cell has been fabricated by RF sputtering, comprising a CdTe/CdS top cell, a ZnTe:N/ZnO:Al interconnect junction and a HgCdTe/CdS bottom cell. The Hg1−xCdxTe film as the bottom absorption layer was deposited by RF sputtering with 70% or 85% Cd content in the Hg1−xCdxTe magnetron target. Hg1−xCdxTe films with band gap from 0.98 eV to 1.45 eV were obtained by controlling the deposition temperature. CdCl2 thermal treatments were used to improve the Hg1−xCdxTe film electrical properties. A nitrogen-doped ZnTe film combined with an aluminium (Al) doped ZnO film formed a good interconnect junction. Results of Voc = 0.99 V and Jsc = 2.1 mA/cm2 were obtained in the best such tandem cell at one sun (AM1.5).

Ultrathin films of (Bi–Pb)–Sr–Ca–Cu–O (2223) were produced by ex situ RF magnetron sputtering on MgO (100) substrates. Films with different thermal treatments and thickness varying between 30 nm and 300 nm were obtained and studied systematically. A structural characterization of these samples was carried out and correlated with their electrical properties and thickness.

Successful synthesis of Cu, Co co-doped ZnO film is obtained by sol-gel method. The structural and electrical properties of the sample were investigated. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy analyses indicate that the Co and Cu co-doping can not disturb the structure of ZnO. No additional peaks are observed in the Zn0.99Co0.01CuxO and Cu+ and Co2+ substitute for Zn2+ without changing the wurtzite structure. By Hall-effect measurement p-type conductivity was observed for the Cu co-doped film. XPS result confirmed Cu ions are univalent in the films.

ABSTRACTIn this study, ZnO f ilms heavily doped with Al or Ga were grown on a polarity-controlled buffer layer using pulsed laser deposition. The films prepared using a 1 mol% Al-doped target with the buffer layer grown at 700 °C had the c(+)-face, whereas the films with the buffer layer grown at 400 °C had the c(-)-face, which means that the polarity control can be successfully carried out using the buffer layer. However, the films prepared using targets doped with more than 1 mol% Al or Ga had the c(+)-face regardless of the polarity of the buffer layer. The 1 mol% Al-doped ZnO film with the c(+)-face had lower electron concentration and higher growth rate than the film with the c(-)-face. This result indicates that the Al content in the film with the c(-)-face was larger than that in the film with the c(+)-face.
