Process and apparatus for making photovoltaic devices and resultant product

摘要

A method for making a large area photovoltaic device (22) that is capable of generating low cost electrical power. The method involves depositing a layer of cadmium telluride onto an upwardly facing surface of a substrate and depositing an additional semiconductor material as a separate layer. The semiconductor interfaces the cadmium telluride such that an electrical junction can be formed.
