Abstract: The ZnO high resistivity transparent (HRT) layers were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering on the 1 mm borosilicate glass with 150 nm ITO coating. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the as-deposited films were investigated by XRD, UV/Vis spectroscopy and four-probe technology. The interface characters of the ITO/ZnO and ZnO/CdS systems were studied by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling tests. The results show that ZnO has good optical and electrical properties. The insertion of the ZnO films decreases the energy barrier between ITO and CdS films. The energy conversion efficiency and quantum efficiency were found to be 12.77% (8.9%) and > 90% (79%) with or (without) ZnO films of CdTe solar cells. Furthermore, the effect of thickness, mobility and carrier density of ZnO films on CdTe solar cells was analyzed by AMPD-1D.
