摘要
We have investigated the characteristics of p-GaAs/i-n-Ga0.97In0.03N0.01As0.99 heterojunction solar cells with different intrinsic layer thickness. The solar cells studied in this study were fabricated by atomic hydrogen-assisted RF-MBE on GaAs(001) substrates. With an optimized Player thickness of 600nm, maximum quantum efficiency of > 80% has been obtained, and the hole diffusion length in n-Ga0.97In0.03N0.01As0.99 film was similar to 160nm. Then we fabricated our first homojunction GaInNAs solar cells, and short-circuit current density of 14.2 mA/cm(2) has been achieved.
