Abstract: Understanding the properties of CdSTe ternary alloys is important because they always form at the interface between the CdS window layer and CdTe absorber layer in CdS/CdTe solar cells due to the intermixing. This interdiffusion is necessary because it improves the device performance. Experimental work has been devoted to studying Te rich p-type CdS x Te 1−x alloys, but there is a lack of studies on S-rich n-type CdS 1−y Te y solid solutions. In this work, a review of the structure, morphology, and optical properties of the S-rich n-type CdS 1−y Te y thin films produced by the spray pyrolysis technique on glass substrates is presented.
