The study successfully demonstrated the growth of high-quality GaAsSbN layers and heterostructures by LPE, suitable for solar cell applications. The optical and electrical properties of the materials were characterized, showing potential for extending the photoresponse limit down to 1.2 eV.
研究不足
The study is limited by the challenges in growing dilute nitride materials with photovoltaic quality and the need for further optimization of the LPE technology for solar cell fabrication.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized low-temperature liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) for growing GaAsSbN layers and heterostructures on GaAs substrates. Sn and Mg were used as dopants for n- and p-type layers, respectively.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Semi-insulating and n-GaAs:Si substrates were used. The growth solutions consisted of 6N pure solvent metals Ga and Sb, and polycrystalline GaAs and GaN as sources of As and N.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A horizontal LPE system with a piston boat technique was used. Characterization techniques included SEM, TM AFM, EDX, XPS, Hall-effect measurements, PL, and SPV spectroscopy.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The growth process involved heating the charged boat at 750°C for 1h, followed by crystallization at temperatures below 600°C. The epitaxial layers were grown from a 7°C super-cooled solution at a cooling rate of 0.8°C/min.
5：8°C/min.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: The optical properties were evaluated using temperature-dependent PL and room temperature SPV measurements. The Hall-effect parameters were measured to determine carrier concentration and mobility.
