Impact of ALD-Deposited Ultrathin Nitride Layers on Carrier Lifetimes and Photoluminescence Efficiency in CdTe/MgCdTe Double Heterostructures
Abstract
This work evaluates the passivation effectiveness of ultrathin nitride layers (SiNx, AlN, TiN) deposited via atomic layer deposition on CdTe/MgCdTe double heterostructures for solar cell applications. Time-resolved photoluminescence and photoluminescence measurements revealed enhanced carrier lifetimes and reduced surface recombination, indicating improved passivation effectiveness. These results underscore the potential of SiNx as a promising passivation material to improve the efficiency of CdTe solar cells.
