Because of their catastrophic effects, it is necessary to ensure that no shunt defects are formed in the solar cell. A technique for fabricating large-area shunt-defect-free GaAs solar cells has been investigated. A Be-doped GaAlAs window layer was grown directly on an n-type GaAs substrate by isothermal liquid-phase epitaxial growth (ILPE). By growing directly on the GaAs substrate and not growing the usual buffer, absorber, collector, and window layer combination, the fabrication is simplified and yields can be large. It was found that Be from the liquid GaAlAs melt diffused into the GaAs to form a complete collector layer. Because the collector is complete, a shunt-defect-free solar cell is produced. The results of the ILPE growth are reported for both 5.1 cm/sup 2/ and 0.12 cm/sup 2/ solar cells. The technique is very versatile and may be used to fabricate larger-area solar cells.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":211778,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Photovoltaic Specialists","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115000858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These panels contained circuits with the ratio of CIS cells in series to each series GaAs cell from 2:1 to 3:1 (defined as a series ratio), and circuits with 0% to 6% Imp mismatch between two substrings in series, where each substring consisted of three CIS cells in series to three GaAs cells in parallel.

The strong degradation of the short-circuit current and fill factor due to considerable kiloelectronvolt-electron irradiation can be explained quantitatively. This makes possible a crucial test of the validity of the mathematical models for the kiloelectronvolt-electron-induced effects developed so far. It is shown that the major part of these reversible changes can be attributed to bulk effects: interface properties do not have to be considered. Furthermore, the results of a detailed investigation of the thermal recovery of electron-degraded solar cells can be explained consistently.
