研究目的
Investigating the influence of the grating geometry and the thickness of the gate dielectrics on MOS solar cells for indoor LED energy harvesting.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that the thickness of the gate dielectrics and the geometry of the fishbone grating significantly influence the performance of MOS solar cells for indoor LED energy harvesting. An increase in gate dielectric thickness led to higher generated power, while changes in the fishbone geometry affected the short-circuit current density. The findings suggest that optimizing these parameters can enhance the efficiency of MOS solar cells for energy harvesting applications.

The study is limited to MOS solar cells with specific gate dielectric thicknesses and fishbone grating geometries under indoor LED illumination. The applicability to other light sources or outdoor conditions was not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication and electrical characterization of MOS solar cells using Al/SiO2/Si-p structures for energy harvesting from indoor LED illumination. The gate dielectric was grown by rapid thermal processing (RTP) with varying thicknesses.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Si-p (100) wafers with a resistivity of 10 Ω.cm were used. The gate dielectric thicknesses were
3:65, 73, 10, and 23 nm. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included an ellipsometer Autoel IV for thickness measurement, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) for confirmation, and an Agilent 4156C Source Measurement Unit (SMU) for electrical characterization. Materials included Si-p wafers, aluminum for gate material, and SiO for light trapping.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved wafer cleaning, gate oxide growth by RTP, aluminum evaporation for gate material, lithography for gate geometry definition, and electrical characterization under LED illumination.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Parameters such as fill factor (FF), short-circuit current density (JSC), open-circuit voltage (VOC), conversion efficiency (η), and generated electric power (Pg) were extracted from IxV curves.
