چکیده انگلیسی
The upper limit of GaAs growth rate was explored for the metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of a GaAs pin photovoltaic cell, in order to increase the throughput and to reduce material wastage during MOVPE. The growth rate of the undoped GaAs (i-layer) alone was increased from 0.55 to 3.3 μm/h at a constant partial pressure of tertiarybutylarsine (TBAs), and the V/III ratio was reduced from 15 to 2.2 accordingly. The conversion efficiency of the pin cell with a 1-μm i-GaAs layer was almost independent of growth rate and reached 20%, although too thick an i-layer of 3 μm led to degraded efficiency. The crystal quality of that i-GaAs layer was investigated with Hall effect measurement and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). With increase in growth rate, the hole concentration increased from 1Ã1016 to 8Ã1016 cmâ3 due to increased carbon impurity concentration. We have estimated the upper limit of carbon impurity that does not degrade conversion efficiency of a GaAs pin cell with a 1-μm-thick i-layer: 1Ã1017 cmâ3, corresponding to a growth rate of 6 μm/h.
