Abstract CdTe photovoltaic technology is one of the first being brought into production together with amorphous silicon (already in the mid 90s Solar Cells Inc. in USA, Antec Solar and BP Solar in Europe were producing 60 × 120cm modules) and it is now the largest in production among thin film solar cells (Photovoltaics Report, 2014). CdTe has high chemical stability and a large variety of successful preparation methods available, which makes this technology one of the most suitable for large area module production. Historically there are two large categories of CdTe photovoltaic devices depending on the substrate deposition temperature, typically low temperature processes are considered when substrate temperature is below 450 °C. In this paper we will describe the last progress of CdTe based thin film solar cells, fabricated with low substrate temperature process, and their pros and cons.

低基板温度 CdTe 太阳能电池：综述

摘要 CdTe 光伏技术是最早与非晶硅一起投产的技术之一（早在 90 年代中期美国 Solar Cells Inc.，欧洲的 Antec Solar 和 BP Solar 就生产了 60 × 120cm 组件），现在是最大的生产薄膜太阳能电池（光伏报告，2014 年）。CdTe 具有很高的化学稳定性和多种成功的制备方法，这使得该技术成为最适合大面积组件生产的技术之一。历史上，根据基板沉积温度，有两大类 CdTe 光伏器件，当基板温度低于 450 °C 时，通常会考虑低温工艺。在本文中，我们将描述 CdTe 基薄膜太阳能电池的最新进展，
