Low‐Temperature Gold Deposition Improves CdTe Back Contacts
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Cd(Se,Te) samples are cooled during the evaporation of Au back contacts to thermally quench CdTe degradation. Reduced temperature during Au evaporation boosts PV efficiency, open‐circuit voltage, and fill factor. XPS associates these improvements with less chemical perturbation of the CdTe surface during metallization.
