英文摘要 | In this paper, three p-i-n gaas solar cells were grown and characterized, one with inas quantum dot (qd) layers embedded in the depletion region (sample a), one with qd layers embedded in the n (-) base region (b), and the third without qds (control sample c). qd-embedded solar cells (samples a and b) show broad photoluminescence spectra due to qd multi-level emissions but have lower open-circuit voltages v (oc) and lower photovoltaic (pv) efficiencies than sample c. on the other hand, the short-circuit current density j (sc) in sample a is increased while it is decreased in sample b. theoretical analysis shows that in sample b where the built-in electric field in qds is zero, electrons tend to occupy qds and strong potential variations exist around qds which deteriorate the electron mobility in the n (-) base region so that j (sc) in sample b is decreased. hole trapping and electron-hole recombination in qds are also enhanced in sample b, resulting in a reduced v (oc) and thus a worse pv effect. in sample a, a strong built-in field exists in qd layers, which facilitates photo-carrier extraction from qds and thus j (sc) is increased. however, qds in the depletion region in sample a act also as recombination-generation centers so that the dark saturated current density is drastically increased, which reduces v (oc) and the total pv effect. in conclusion, a nonzero built-in electric field around qds is vital for using qds to increase the pv effect in conventional p-i-n gaas solar cells. |
