ABSTRACT:
An ohmically conductive contact for a thin film p-type semiconductor compound formed of at least one of the metal elements of Class IIB of the Periodic Table of Elements and at least one of the non-metal elements of Class VIA of the Periodic Table of Elements and photovoltaic devices incorporating such contacts. An ohmic contact, according to the invention, includes a layer of conductive binder paste having mercury telluride and/or copper telluride dispersed therein. The invention also relates to a method of forming such ohmic contacts.
