| | Thin Films: Past, Present, Future (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | However, thin films have had to be developed using new semiconductor materials, including amorphous silicon, copper indium diselenide, cadmium telluride and film crystalline silicon. |
 | | Owing to the nature of 'thin film' CdTe modules, the use of cadmium in PV is always likely to remain a small fraction (under 10%) of the world's use of cadmiumeven if CdTe modules are one day able to provide a significant fraction (over 10%) of the world's electricity. |
 | | The technical basis for thin films is solid, and the accomplishments up to now have been in line with the technical basis and are likely to continue. |
