Adopting of DC Magnetron Sputtering Method For Preparing Semiconductor Films

Abstract

It has been carried out the experimental studies of the process of cadmium telluride magnetron sputtering with direct current, and the impact of a magnetron sputtering mode on CdTe films crystalline structure. In order to create thin-film solar cells based on cadmium sulfide and telluride CdTe films for the base layers of thin film solar cells was obtained on flexible polyimide substrates by magnetron sputtering with direct current for the first time. It has found that increasing the magnetron discharge current up to 80 mA leads to increase in coherent scattering regions what is due to an increase in the thickness of the cadmium telluride films of the hexagonal modification having a columnar structure.
