Defect properties of InGaAsN layers grown as sub-monolayer digital alloys by molecular beam epitaxy

Abstract: The defect properties of InGaAsN dilute nitrides grown as sub-monolayer digital alloys (SDAs) by molecular beam epitaxy for photovoltaic application were studied by space charge capacitance spectroscopy. Alloys of i-InGaAsN (Eg = 1.03 eV) were lattice-matched grown on GaAs wafers as a superlattice of InAs/GaAsN with one monolayer of InAs (<0.5 nm) between wide GaAsN (7–12 nm) layers as active layers in single-junction solar cells. Low p-type background doping was demonstrated at room temperature in samp… Show more

“…Indeed, the latter method was successfully applied to the growth of defect-free InGaAsN (900 nm thick) as InAs/GaAsN in our previous work. 35 The photovoltaic structures are investigated by various capacitive techniques such as capacitance-voltage measurements (C-V), admittance spectroscopy (AS) and DLTS. These experiments provide information on the formation of defects in these compounds during the growth process.…”

“…Relatively high doping concentration can prevent the space charge region to extend within the whole active layer resulting in lower collection efficiency as it was studied in [11]. Reference [12] also reports that under their growth conditions, 900 nm thick absorber cells are fully depleted whereas 1200 nm thick ones are not.…”

“…Однако ранее было продемонстрировано повышенное формирование центров безызлучательной рекомбинации в таких полупроводниковых слоях из-за встраивания азота в подрешетку фосфора в GaP, что приводило к низким временам жизни неосновных носителей заряда и низкому КПД фотопреобразовательных структур. Тем не менее метод чередующихся квантово-размерных слоев был успешно применен в гетероструктурах InAs/GaAsN для солнечных элементов [4], выращенных методом молекулярно-пучковой эпитаксии на подложках GaAs, а методом атомно-слоевого плазмохимического осаждения были получены сверхрешетки Si/GaP [5]. Таким образом, для солнечной энергетики интересным может являться создание короткопериодных сверхрешеток типа InP/GaP и InP/GaN.…”
