Abstract

Cadmium Telluride(CdTe) plays a significant role in thin film solar cell technology. It is the most favourable thin film material because of its minimum material usage and rising efficiency of nearly 22%. In 2016, CdTe thin film technologies acquired a market share greater than 55%. CdTe solar cell has become the most important among thin film technologies because its high efficiency. Because of the bandgap level and the preparation methods, CdTe becomes one of the leading materials in thin films solar cell applications. This review shows the preparation methods of CdTe and their bandgap levels at different substrates at different annealing temperature and their applications in solar cells.
