Abstract

In this work, a diffusion-reaction model was implemented and used to study Cu migration during the annealing process and stress test. Its impact on the metastable behavior of CdTe solar cells was also investigated. The preliminary results support our theoretical model presented here that explains rapid changes in atomic concentration of Cu in CdTe as a function of stress conditions.
