Nano p-AgInTe2/n-CdS0.4Se0.6 heterojunction was constructed. The dark – current – voltage – characteristics of the prepared junction have been investigated in a temperature range from ~303 to 423 K. The operating conduction mechanism was found to be Pool-Frenkel emission for T > 323 K and V < +0.8 volt. The supposed band diagram of p-AgInTe2/n-CdS0.4Se0.6 heterojunction is exhibited. Analysis of the photovoltaic characteristic, at room temperature and under illumination of ~2.7 W/m2, lead to the determination of some solar cell parameters, such as; the short circuit current, the open circuit voltage, the fill factor and the power conversion efficiency.
