We report on substrate temperature and Cu addition induced changes in the photovoltaic device perfor-mance of Glass/TCO/CdS/CdTe/Au heterostructures prepared by the electron beam evaporation technique. Prior to the photovoltaic study, the structural and optical properties of CdTe, CdTe:Cu and CdS/Cd...
