Abstract

Polycrystalline Zn_xCd_1-xS/CuGaSe₂ thin film heterojunction solar cells were prepared by laser evaporating CuGaSe₂ onto sprayed Zn_xCd_1-xS films. The reasons for the low efficiency of the cells were discussed in view of the poor performance of the device for x > 0.6. The photovoltaic properties of the cells were studies using illuminated I - V characteristics. A maximum efficiency of 4.9% was obtained on the cells.
