3.0 MeV proton-irradiation effects on the GaAs middle cell and the GaInP top cell of n+-p GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction (3J) solar cells have been analyzed using temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) technique. The E5 (Ec - 0.96 eV) electron trap in the GaAs middle cell, the H2 (Ev + 0.55 eV) hole trap in the GaInP top cell are identified as the proton irradiation-induced non-radiative recombination centers, respectively, causing the performance degradation of the triple-junction solar cells. The GaAs middle cell is less resistant to proton irradiation than the GaInP top cell.

Crystal wafer(SiC wafer,gan wafer,gaas wafer,ge wafer,CZT wafer,AlN wafer,Si wafer) A wafer, also called a slice or substrate, is a thin slice of semiconductor material, such as a crystalline silicon, used in electronics for the fabrication of integrated circuits and in photovoltaics for conventional, wafer-based solar cells. The wafer serves as the substrate for microelectronic devices built in and over the wafer and undergoes many microfabrication process steps such as doping or ion implantation, etching, deposition of various materials, and photolithographic patterning. Finally the individual microcircuits are separated (dicing) and packaged.

Detail Application of Silicon Carbide Because of SiC physical and electronic properties,silicon carbide based device are well suitable for short wavelength optoelectronic, high temperature, radiation resistant, and high-power/high-frequency electronic devices,compared with Si and GaAs based device. Many researchers know the general SiC application:III-V Nitride Deposition;Optoelectronic Devices;High Power Devices;High Temperature Devices;High Frequency Power Devices.But few people knows detail applications, here we list some detail application and make some explanations: 1.SiC substrate for X-ray monochromators: such as using SiC's large d-spacing of about 15 A 2.SiC substrate for high voltage devices 3.SiC substrate for diamond film growth by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition 4.For silicon carbide p-n diode 5.SiC substrate for optical window: such as for very short (< 100 fs) and intense (> 100 GW/cm2) laser pulses with a wavelength of 1300 nm. It should have a low absorption coefficient and a low two photon absorption coefficient for 1300 nm 6.SiC substrate for heat spreader: For example,the Silicon carbide crystal will be capillary bonded on a flat gain chip surface of VECSEL (Laser) to remove the generated pump heat. Therefore, the following properties are important: 1)Semi-insulating type required to prevent free carrier absorption of the laser light 2) Double side polished are preferred 3)Surface roughness: < 2nm, so that the surface is enough flat for bonding 7.SiC substrate for THz system application: Normally it require THz transparency 8.SiC substrate for epitaxial graphene on SiC:Graphene epitaxy on off axis substrate and on axis are both available, surface side on C-face or Si face are both available. 9.SiC substrate for process development loke ginding, dicing and etc 10.SiC substrate for fast photo-electric switch 11.SiC substrate for heat sink: thermal conductivity and thermal expansion are concerned. 12.SiC substrate for laser: optical, surface and stranparence are concerned. 13.SiC substrate for III-V epitaxy, normally off axis substrate are required. Xiamen Powerway Advanced Material Co.,Limited is an expert in SiC substrate, can give researchers suggestions in different application.

On the base of the physical analytical models based on Poisson's equation, drift–diffusion and continuity equations the forward current–voltage characteristics of 6H-SiC and 4H-SiC type Schottky diode with Ni and Ti Schottky contact have been simulated. It is shown on the base of analysis of current–voltage characteristics in terms of classical thermionic emission theory it is shown that the proposed simulation model of Schottky diode corresponds to the almost "ideal" diode with ideality factor n equals 1.1. Because of this it is determined that the effective Schottky barrier height phivB equals 1.57 eV and 1.17 eV for Ni/6H and Ti/4H silicon carbide Schottky diode type, respectively.

We report on the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth and device characteristics of Ge solar cells. Integrating a Ge bottom cell beneath a lattice-matched triple junction stack grown by MBE could enable ultra-high efficiencies without metamorphic growth or wafer bonding. However, a diffused junction cannot be readily formed in Ge by MBE due to the low sticking coefficient of group-V molecules on Ge surfaces. We therefore realized Ge junctions by growth of homo-epitaxial n-Ge on p-Ge wafers within a standard III–V MBE system. We then fabricated Ge solar cells, finding growth temperature and post-growth annealing to be key factors for achieving high efficiency. Open-circuit voltage and fill factor values of ~0.175 V and ~0.59 without a window layer were obtained, both of which are comparable to diffused Ge junctions formed by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. We also demonstrate growth of high-quality, single-domain GaAs on the Ge junction, as needed for subsequent growth of III–V subcells, and that the surface passivation afforded by the GaAs layer slightly improves the Ge cell performance.

We report here a double-sided process for the fabrication of a comb-drive GaN micro-mirror on a GaN-on-silicon platform. A silicon substrate is first patterned from the backside and removed by deep reactive ion etching, resulting in totally suspended GaN slabs. GaN microstructures including the torsion bars, movable combs and mirror plate are then defined on a freestanding GaN slab by the backside alignment technique and generated by fast atom beam etching with Cl2 gas. Although the fabricated comb-drive GaN micro-mirrors are deflected by the residual stress in GaN thin films, they can operate on a high resistivity silicon substrate without introducing any additional isolation layer. The optical rotation angles are experimentally characterized in the rotation experiments. This work opens the possibility of producing GaN optical micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) devices on a GaN-on-silicon platform.
