CELULE FOTOVOLTAICE CU HETEROJONCŢIUNEA nCdS-pInP

Abstract

Au fost studiate proprietăţile electrice şi fotoelectrice ale heterojoncţiunilor nCdS-pInP cu şi fărăstrat epitaxial intermediar poInP. S-a stabilit că la polarizări directe în mecanismul de transport al curentului predominăprocesele de recombinare în regiunea de sarcină spaţială. La polarizări inverse predominăprocesele de tunelare. Prezenţa stratului epitaxial poInP depus repetat măreşte ISCpânăla 28,2 mA•cm-2, UCDpânăla 0,780 V, iar eficienţa conversiei energiei pânăla 15% la 300 K şi iluminare 100 mW/cm2. Fotosensibilitatea CF nCdS-poInP-pInP corespunde intervalului λ=550...950 nm cu un maximum plat localizat în intervalul λ=700...850 nm.

Electrical and photoelectrical properties of nCdS-pInP hetero-junctions with and without intermediate poInP epitaxial layer were studied. It was established that the current flow mech anism at direct biases is determined mainly by the recombi- nation processes in the space charge region of the junction. At the reverse biases the tunneling processes are predominant. The presence of poInP layer leads to the photo-electrical parameters enhancing of hetero-junction: short circuit current increases up to 28,2 mA·cm -2, open circuit voltage up to 0,780V and the efficiency of solar energy conversion up to 15 % (at 300 K and illumination of 100mw/cm2). The photo-sensitivity of nCdS- poInP -pInP is in the wavelength region of λ= 550-950nm with a maximum localized to λ=700-850nm.
