Résumé. 2014 On retrace l’histoire des cellules solaires à couches minces de CdS, depuis leur première mise en pratique en 1955, jusqu’à maintenant. On décrit les facteurs qui ont con-

tribué à l’évolution des cellules actuelles, légères et de grande surface, à 4 à 8

%.

On indique

les différents procédés de fabrication de ces cellules avec leurs avantages et leurs inconvénients.

On jette un bref coup d’0153il sur les étapes de la fabrication des systèmes actuels de cellules à haut rendement, ainsi que sur les paramètres les plus importants. On présente en détail

les caractéristiques de fonctionnement des meilleures cellules actuelles, ainsi que les effets de l’intensité lumineuse et de la température sur la tension, le courant et la puissance fournie

la réponse spectrale et les facteurs dont dépend la stabilité de la cellule. On discute brièvement les possibilités de perfectionnement de ces cellules, et on énumère certaines de leurs applica-

tions probables dans l’espace et sur terre.

Abstract. 2014 The history of the development of the thin film CdS solar cell is traced from its first reduction to practice in 1955 to the present. The major factors which contributed

to the evolution of the present 4 to 8 % large area light weight cells are described. The various possible constructions of CdS thin film solar cells are described along with advantages

and disadvantages of each. A brief outline if given of the steps in fabricating the present

design high efficiency cells along with the more important process parameters. The operating

characteristics of the best present state-of-the-art cells are presented in detail

including

the

effect of light intensity and temperature on the voltage, current, and power output, the

spectral responses, and the factors

affecting

cell stability. There is a brief discussion of the

possibilities for further improvements in these cells, and a

listing

of some of their probable applications in space and on earth.
