The ZnO:Al film on porous semiconductor CdTe substrates is obtained by sol–gel processing followed by centrifugation. The obtained structures of the n-ZnO:Al/porous-CdTe/p-CdTe films are investigated using scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. Using x-ray microanalysis, a chemical composition is determined, and a phase analysis of obtained heterostructures is carried out. The application possibility for the n-ZnO:Al/porous-CdTe/p-CdTe heterostructures as solar-energy photovoltaic cells is considered.

Key words: ZnO film, porous CdTe substrate, sol–gel method, centrifugation, photovoltaic cells.
