Abstract
Over 9% efficiency is demonstrated in electroplated CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells. Processing of the devices is described. A brief heat treatment step first anneals out the deep lifetime killer centers in the material then converts the originally n‐type film into solar cell grade p‐CdTe.Keywords
