内容記述 | A major factor limiting the efficiency of the GaAs-GaAlAs solar cell is the rate of recombination at the GaAs-AlGaAs interface. Evidence has been previously reported which indicates that recombination at this interface can be greatly reduced if the AlGaAs layer is grown at lower than normal temperatures. The authors examine the epitaxial growth of AlGaAs on GaAs using a horizontal OMCVD reactor and an excimer laser operating in the UV (lambda = 193 nm) region. The growth temperatures were 450 and 500 C. The laser beam was utilized in two orientations: 75 deg angle of incidence and parallel to the substrate. Film composition and structure were determined by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Auger analysis of epilayers grown at 500 C with the laser impinging show no carbon or oxygen contamination of the epitaxial layers or interfaces. TEM diffraction patterns of these same epilayers exhibit single crystal (100) zone axis patterns. |
