What is CdTe back contact?

Many CdTe back contact technologies utilize small amounts of copper to increase the p-type doping level. This element can be delivered as a metal layer with a thickness of a few nanometers, or as a copper compound, such as Cu x Te. Thicknesses of copper-containing layers is often well below 10 nm.
