discussed with a special focus on the CdS layer and CdTeyCdS interface, which are very sensitive to the accumulation of
impurities and defects.\cite{B_tzner_2004}
** CdCl2 **CdCl2 treatment** \cite{Dharmadasa_2014}
The treatment 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. Post-growth heat treatment is usually carried out at temperatures in the range 350–450 °C for 60–20 min duration under atmospheric conditions. This treatment drastically enhances the solar cell efficiency from about 1%–5% for as-grown materials to double-digit figures for CdCl2-treated materials. This is almost an order of magnitude increase in conversion efficiency.
