Open-circuit voltage analysis of p-i-n type amorphous silicon solar cells deposited at low temperature

This paper identifies the contributions of p-a-SiC:H layers and i-a-Si:H layers to the open circuit voltage of p-i-n type a-Si:H solar cells deposited at a low temperature of 125 C.We find that poor quality p-a-SiC:H films under regular conditions lead to a restriction of open circuit voltage although the band gap of the i-layer varies widely.A significant improvement in open circuit voltage has been obtained by using high quality p-a-SiC:H films optimized at the "low-power regime" under low silane flow rates and high hydrogen dilution conditions.

Optoelectronic properties of single-crystalline GaInAsSb quaternary alloy nanowires

Bandgap engineering of semiconductor nanomaterials is critical for their applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and photonics. Here we report, for the first time, the growth of single-crystalline quaternary alloyed Ga_(0.75)In_(0.25)As_(0.49)Sb_(0.51) nanowires via a chemical-vapor-deposition method. The synthesized nanowires have a uniform composition distribution along the growth direction, with a zinc-blende structure. In the photoluminescence investigation,these quaternary alloyed semiconductor nanowires show a strong band edge light emission at 1950 nm(0.636 e V). Photodetectors based on these alloy nanowires show a strong light response in the near-infrared region(980 nm) with the external quantum efficiency of 2.0 × 10~4% and the responsivity of 158 A/W. These novel near-infrared photodetectors may find promising applications in integrated infrared photodetection, information communication, and processing.

Influence of the total gas flow rate on high rate growth microcrystalline silicon films and solar cells

This paper reports that high-rate-deposition of microcrystalline silicon solar cells was performed by very-highfrequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.These solar cells,whose intrinsic μc-Si:H layers were prepared by using a different total gas flow rate (F total),behave much differently in performance,although their intrinsic layers have similar crystalline volume fraction,opto-electronic properties and a deposition rate of ～ 1.0 nm/s.The influence of F total on the micro-structural properties was analyzed by Raman and Fourier transformed infrared measurements.The results showed that the vertical uniformity and the compact degree of μc-Si:H thin films were improved with increasing F total.The variation of the microstructure was regarded as the main reason for the difference of the J-V parameters.Combined with optical emission spectroscopy,we found that the gas temperature plays an important role in determining the microstructure of thin films.With F total of 300 sccm,a conversion efficiency of 8.11% has been obtained for the intrinsic layer deposited at 8.5 A/s (1 A=0.1 nm).
