Physical substantiating and development of the industrial technology of low-cost efficient large-area solar cells based on II-VI semiconductor compounds
STCU Project # 1088
Project duration: November 2000 – November 2003
Supported by the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU).
Objective
The objective of the Project is physical and technical substantiation and development of the industry-suitable technology for fabrication of low-cost, efficient, stable large-area solar cells based on heterojunctions formed by cadmium telluride and cadmium sulphide layers prepared by a rather simple screen-printing method (i.e., without the use of a vacuum technique or other complicated power-consuming techniques).
