In this work, we show that the chlorine doping effect in the CdS window layer can be detected by PL imaging analysis, due to the formation of a defect complex of sulfur vacancy and ClS (VS-ClS) and complexes between halogen ions and cadmium vacancies (VCd-ClS). CdTe devices with differently doped CdS layers were investigated. PL imaging, TEM, IV performance indicators and EQE analysis were performed to understand the effect of the different dopants on the electrical performances of CdTe devices. %I Loughborough University
