Abstract

The present work is concerned with the preparation of thin films of nanocrystalline porous silicon (PSi) by the method of electrochemical etching. CdTe nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared by utilizing the pulsed laser ablation in liquid. The measurements of tunneling microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy (AFE) were carried out and revealed that the PSi was nanostructured and the produced CdTe NPs were ball shaped, having good disposability. The diffusion of CdTe NPs on the properties of PSi solar cell assures that there was an improvement upon their properties. The relationship between 1∕C2 and the reverse bias voltage was observed to be linear. Values of the built-in potential were observed to be dependent on the laser fluence, current density and the etching time.
