摘要
光伏设备由于其独特的操作要求,需要同时具备优异的电气性能和光吸收性能。本研究介绍了一种使用 TMAH 处理同时增强在独立 GaN 基底上制造的 InGaN/GaN 光伏器件的上述特性的方法。通过消除干法蚀刻造成的介孔侧壁表面缺陷,改善了电气性能。同时,在器件背面形成的纹理形态也增强了光学吸收。这些不同的改进效果归因于氮化镓晶体各向异性的耐化学性。这种方法大大提高了 InGaN/GaN 光伏器件的性能。
Improved performance of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-wells photovoltaic devices on free-standing GaN substrates with TMAH treatment
Photovoltaic PV devices necessitate both superior electrical properties and optical absorption due to their unique operational requirements. This study introduces a method using TMAH treatment to simultaneously enhance these characteristics in InGaN/GaN PV devices fabricated on free-standing GaN substrates. By eliminating surface defects on the sidewalls of mesas, which are caused by dry etching, the electrical properties are improved. Concurrently, the creation of textured morphologies on the back surfaces of the devices enhances optical absorption. These different effects of improvements are attributed to the anisotropic chemical resistance of the GaN crystal. This method significantly enhances the performance of InGaN/GaN PV devices.
