垒层厚度对InGaN/GaN多量子阱电注入发光性能的影响及机理

研究了不同垒厚对InGaN/GaN多量子阱电注入发光性能的影响及机理。实验发现,当GaN垒层的厚度从6 nm增大到24 nm时,垒厚的样品发光强度更强,而且当注入电流增加时,适当增加垒厚,可以更显著增加发光强度。进一步结合发光峰位和光谱宽度的研究表明,由于应力和极化效应的存在,当垒层厚度在6~24 nm范围内时,适当增加垒层厚度不仅会使得能带的倾斜加剧,减少电子泄露,而且也会增加InGaN阱层的局域态深度,从而改善量子阱的发光性能。     

In含量对InGaN/GaN LED光电性能的影响

运用软件模拟和理论计算的方法分析了In含量对发光二极管光电性能的影响,研究了In含量与光谱功率密度、量子阱中载流子的浓度、辐射速率、发光功率等之间的关系。分析结果表明:电子泄漏与能带填充是影响光电性能的主要原因。当In含量较低时,随着电流密度增大(<8 kA/cm2),光谱发生蓝移程度相对较小,但电流密度太大(>8 kA/cm2)会造成电子泄漏,发光功率降低;而当In含量较高时,随着电流密度增大,光谱发生蓝移程度相对较大,但在电流密度较大时,会获得较高的发光功率。因此,为了使InGaN/GaN发光二极管获得最大量子效率与发光效率,应该根据电流密度的大小(8 kA/cm2)来选择In含量的高低。

InGaN/GaN p-i-n solar cells, each with an undoped In0.12Ga0.88N absorption layer, are grown on c-plane sapphire substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The effects of the thickness and dislocation density of the absorp- tion layer on the collection efficiency of InGaN-based solar cells are analyzed, and the experimental results demonstrate that the thickness of the InGaN layer and the dislocation density significantly affect the performance. An optimized InGaN- based solar cell with a peak external quantum efficiency of 57% at a wavelength of 371 nm is reported. The full width at half maximum of the rocking curve of the （0002） InGaN layer is 180 arcsec.     

Comparision between Ga- and N-polarity InGaN solar cells with gradient-In-composition intrinsic layers

Performances of Ga-and N-polarity solar cells(SCs) adopting gradient-In-composition intrinsic layer(IL) are compared.It is found the gradient ILs can greatly weaken the negative influence from the polarization effects for the Gapolarity case,and the highest conversion efficiency(η) of 2.18%can be obtained in the structure with a linear increase of In composition in the IL from bottom to top.This is mainly attributed to the adsorptions of more photons caused by the higher In composition in the IL closer to the p-GaN window layer.In contrast,for the N-polarity case,the SC structure with an InGaN IL adopting fixed In composition prevails over the ones adopting the gradient-In-composition IL,where the highest η of 9.28%can be obtained at x of 0.62.N-polarity SC structures are proven to have greater potential preparations in high-efficient InGaN SCs.     

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well solar cells with an enhanced open-circuit voltage

In this paper,InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well solar cells (MQWSCs) with an In content of 0.15 are fabricated and studied.The short-circuit density,fill factor and open-circuit voltage (V oc) of the device are 0.7 mA/cm 2,0.40 and 2.22 V,respectively.The results exhibit a significant enhancement of V oc compared with those of InGaN-based hetero and homojunction cells.This enhancement indicates that the InGaN/GaN MQWSC offers an effective way for increasing V oc of an In-rich In x Ga 1 x N solar cell.The device exhibits an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 36% (7%) at 388 nm (430 nm).The photovoltaic performance of the device can be improved by optimizing the structure of the InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well.     

Dependence of InGaN solar cell performance on polarization-induced electric field and carrier lifetime

The effects of Mg-induced net acceptor doping concentration and carrier lifetime on the performance of a p-i-n InGaN solar cell are investigated. It is found that the electric field induced by spontaneous and piezoelectric polariza- tion in the i-region could be totally shielded when the Mg-induced net acceptor doping concentration is sufficiently high. The polarization-induced potential barriers are reduced and the short circuit current density is remarkably increased from 0.21 mA/cm2 to 0.95 mA/cm2 by elevating the Mg doping concentration. The carrier lifetime determined by defect density of i-InGaN also plays an important role in determining the photovoltaic properties of solar cell. The short circuit current density severely degrades, and the performance of InGaN solar cell becomes more sensitive to the polarization when carrier lifetime is lower than the transit time. This study demonstrates that the crystal quality of InGaN absorption layer is one of the most important challenges in realizing high efficiency InGaN solar cells.     

Numerical study of InGaN tandem solar cells with intermediate bands

Theoretical investigations of InGaN tandem solar cells with intermediate bands (IBs) have been conducted through calculating the diode equation taking into account the radiative and nonradiative recombination currents. The calculated maximum ef?ciencies of the double‐junction cell with one IB in each subcell are 57.85% and 68.37% under AM1.5G one‐sun and 46000‐sun illuminations, respectively. It has also been observed that the combined device with the top‐cell bandgaps of 2.9–3.4 eV (2.6–3.4 eV for full concentration) may have an opportunity to realize the application of over 50% efficiency. We suggest that the optimized width of the IB layer be designed in the range of 1–6 μm if its absorption coefficient is 10⁴–10⁵ cm^–1 in the IB region.     

Enhanced performance of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well solar cells with double indium content

The performance of a multiple quantum well （MQW） InGaN solar cell with double indium content is investigated. It is found that the adoption of a double indium structure can effectively broaden the spectral response of the external quantum efficiencies and optimize the overall performance of the solar cell. Under AM1.5G illumination, the short-circuit current density （Jsc） and conversion efficiency of the solar cell are enhanced by 65% and 13% compared with those of a normal single-indium-content MQW solar cell. These improvements are mainly attributed to the expansion of the absorption spectrum and better extraction efficiency of the photon-generated carriers induced by higher polarization.

Influence of thermal effect on the efficiency of a solar cell

The short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage of a solar cell based on the p-n junction are studied theoretically, taking into account the thermoemf originating due to the temperature difference between the front and back surfaces of the solar cell.
