Effects of Doping of Bragg Reflector Layers on the Electrical Characteristics of InGaAs/GaAs Metamorphic Photovoltaic Converters

The current–voltage characteristics of In x Ga 1 – x As/GaAs metamorphic photovoltaic converters with built-in n -InGaAs/InAlAs Bragg reflectors are studied at an indium content of x = 0 . 025–0 . 24. The series resistance of the heterostructures is measured in the temperature range from 90 to 400 K...

description The current–voltage characteristics of In x Ga 1 – x As/GaAs metamorphic photovoltaic converters with built-in n -InGaAs/InAlAs Bragg reflectors are studied at an indium content of x = 0 . 025–0 . 24. The series resistance of the heterostructures is measured in the temperature range from 90 to 400 K. It is found that a sharp rise in the resistance of silicon-doped reflectors with an increasing fraction of In is due to weak activation of the donor impurity in InAlAs– n :Si layers. As a result, the energy barriers for majority carriers are formed in the latter, with a height of 0 . 32–0 . 36 eV and a substantial width. To suppress this effect, the technology of the Te doping of n -InGaAs/InAlAs Bragg reflectors is developed, which reduces the series resistance by five orders of magnitude. This makes it possible to keep the fill factor of the current–voltage characteristic above 80% up to current densities of 2 A/cm 2 . Values exceeding 85%, achieved for the quantum efficiency, indicate that the “memory” and tellurium segregation effects characteristic of this kind of impurity are suppressed.
