内容記述 | The effects of the growth temperature and the Al(x)Ga(1-x)As layer thickness on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of Al(x)Ga(1-x)As/Ge heterostructures grown for photovoltaic applications were investigated using different-thickness (between 1 micron and 5 microns) Al(x)Ga(1-x)As layers grown by MOCVD in the temperature range between 660 and 780 C. Results obtained from double-crystal X-ray rocking curve measurements, electron beam induced current, cross-sectional TEM, Raman spectroscopy, SIMS, and steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements are presented. It was found that the highest minority carrier lifetime, 2.41 ns, was obtained for T(G) = 780 C, but the lowest interfacial recombination velocity, 1.6 x 10 exp 4, was obtained at 660 C. |
