Abstract
A layer of an n-type chalcogenide compositions including at least cadmium that is provided on a substrate in the presence of an oxidizing gas in an amount sufficient to provide a resistivity to the layer that is less than the resistivity a layer deposited under identical conditions but in the substantial absence of oxygen. Such n-type chalcogenide compositions are particularly useful in the making of photovoltaic devices.
