As an essential layer in the solar cell device structure, back contact is believed to induce some deep defects in the CdTe thin film. With the help of deep level transient spectroscopy （DLTS）, we study the deep levels in CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells with Te：Cu back contact. One hole trap and one electron trap are observed. The hole trap H1, localized at Ev＋0.128~eV, originates from the vacancy of Cd （VCd. The electron trap E1, found at Ec-0.178~eV, is considered to be correlated with the interstitial Cui= in CdTe.展开更多
