摘要

Work is reported on a program to develop a thin film InP/CdS polycrystalline solar cell. The initial approach, that of using plasma-induced deposition of InP from the organometallic triethylindium resulted in incorporation of large amounts of hydrocarbons into the films. An alternative approach of reactive sputtering of indium in a phosphine atmosphere was successful in producing polycrystalline film of InP. Plasma induced deposition with an InCl sub 3 source, attempts at doping with zinc to obtain p-type films and analysis of the composition of films are discussed. (ERA citation 07:003650)
