INTRODUCTION
Thin films, whether polycrystalline, amorphous or microcrystalline, offer clear advantages in the race to produce large-scale solar modules, thanks to their ability to produce large wafers with integrated cell interconnections, their very low material consumption and their low energy consumption during the production cycle.

CdTe
A number of process-related issues remain to be resolved.
CdTe doping is still not well controlled. Empirically, we've found that treatment with CdCl 2 (a compound well known for helping the recrystallization of CdS layers) is beneficial. All at once, it activates the junction, passive grains,...
