Abstract

See full text

Embodiments provided herein describe methods for forming nitrogen-doped zinc telluride, such as for use in photovoltaic devices. The zinc telluride layer is formed using physical vapor deposition (PVD) at a processing temperature of between about 100° C. and about 450° C. in a gaseous environment that includes between about 3% and about 10% by volume of nitrogen gas.
