Based on research on previous literature and looking at the success of other materials we propose two similar, yet different designs, illustrated in figure .
Both designs are based on three main ideas:
1. **Buffer Layer** between the window and the front
contact. contact for defect passivation/lifetime
improvement.
2. Novel materials for **back
contacts**. contacts** . \cite{Matin_2010}
3. **Efficient Light Trapping Structure** via Distributed Bragg Reflectors as a back mirror and textured glass to increase photon recycling.\cite{Khosroabadi_2014}
## Buffer Layer
...
Several resistive and conductive oxides have been found to be effective buffer layers using binary and ternary transparent oxides of Cd, In, Zn, and Sn \cite{Ferekides_2005}.
## Back Contact
The development of stable back contacts as well as sources of instability in a cell are important if voltage is to be maximized.the high contact resistance between CdTe and the back contact
Degradation effects are often associated with metal diffusion from the back contact of the cell, which is Cu in most cases. However, cells with stable back contact can also exhibit instability, as also all the other cell layers are potential sources of impurities causing instability.\cite{B_tzner_2004}
Cell degradation due to generation of defects from external influences like particle irradiation, e.g.in space, is another reason for instability. The development of stable back contacts as well as sources of instability in a cell are important if voltage is to be maximized. Many novel back contacts have been proposed and simulated numerically \cite{Matin_2010}.

## Efficient Light Trapping Structure
This strategy is influenced in part by the success of GaAs photovoltaics, the highest
efficiencies cannot be achieved unless the solar cell is also designed to also be a good light emitting diode (LED).
...
Particularly encouraging is a numerical simulation of a proposed cell structure \cite{Khosroabadi_2014} with back mirrors had an open-circuit voltage of 1.062V, and overall efficiency of 21.02%.
While ultra-thin (<1µ) semiconductor layers
are less effective at absorbing sunlight, result in poorer cell performances due to shunting, incomplete photon absorption and interference between the main and the back contact
junction\cite{Paudel_2012}, they are cheaper from a material point view. If efficent light trapping techniques are used, the absortion efficency can be increased allowing for minimal loss. Intead of 1-2 µm thin films, 100nm could be adequete for
a direct bangap material as CdTe.
## Post-growth treatments
The "CdCl2" treatment or “activation” process, while poorly understood is a treatment that consists of growth or post-growth heat treatment of CdTe layers in the presence of CdCl2 or halogens (mostly, chlorine, and fluorine) molecules, atoms or ions.
