The electronic interface properties of Cu2 − xTe with CdTe have been investigated using in-situ photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, UPS) in comparison to CdTe/Cu and CdTe/Te interfaces. A band bending towards the Fermi level as a result of the p-doping can be seen in the CdTe by depositing Cu2 − xTe. Different Cu2 − xTe films were prepared by varying the deposition parameters such as substrate temperature and deposition rate of the Cu and Te sources. For all Cu2 − xTe/CdTe interfaces a valence band offset of 0.8 ± 0.05 eV has been found.
