摘要
全球正在讨论空间多接面太阳能电池的新的巨大市场。要实现这种爆炸性的需求增长,需要一种更可持续、更经济实惠的 Ge 衬底技术。为此,我们开发了基于光刻技术的 "Ge-on-Nothing "和基于电化学工艺的多孔地质晶片。这两种方法都能在退火后产生均匀、光滑的单晶 "Ge-on-Ge "工程衬底,其顶层与母衬底的附着力很弱。在这些基底上生长出了高质量的空间太阳能电池,随后成功地进行了箔分离和表面修复。这些结果清楚地证明了可重复使用的 Ge 衬底概念的可行性。
Overview of Engineered Germanium Substrate Development for Affordable Large-Volume Multijunction Solar Cells
New massive markets for space multijunction solar cells are being discussed globally. For such an explosive increase in demand to materialize, a more sustainable and affordable Ge substrate technology is required. To this end, lithography-based Ge-on-Nothing and electrochemical process-based porous Ge wafers were developed. Both approaches yield uniform and smooth monocrystalline Ge-on-Ge engineered substrates after annealing, of which the top layer is weakly attached to the parent substrate. High-quality space solar cells were grown on them, followed by successful foil detachment and surface reconditioning. These results clearly demonstrate the feasibility of the reusable Ge substrate concept.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics is a peer-reviewed, archival publication reporting original and significant research results that advance the field of photovoltaics (PV). The PV field is diverse in its science base ranging from semiconductor and PV device physics to optics and the materials sciences. The journal publishes articles that connect this science base to PV science and technology. The intent is to publish original research results that are of primary interest to the photovoltaic specialist. The scope of the IEEE J. Photovoltaics incorporates: fundamentals and new concepts of PV conversion, including those based on nanostructured materials, low-dimensional physics, multiple charge generation, up/down converters, thermophotovoltaics, hot-carrier effects, plasmonics, metamorphic materials, luminescent concentrators, and rectennas; Si-based PV, including new cell designs, crystalline and non-crystalline Si, passivation, characterization and Si crystal growth; polycrystalline, amorphous and crystalline thin-film solar cell materials, including PV structures and solar cells based on II-VI, chalcopyrite, Si and other thin film absorbers; III-V PV materials, heterostructures, multijunction devices and concentrator PV; optics for light trapping, reflection control and concentration; organic PV including polymer, hybrid and dye sensitized solar cells; space PV including cell materials and PV devices, defects and reliability, environmental effects and protective materials; PV modeling and characterization methods; and other aspects of PV, including modules, power conditioning, inverters, balance-of-systems components, monitoring, analyses and simulations, and supporting PV module standards and measurements. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are also published and occasionally special issues are published to treat particular areas in more depth and breadth.
