GaInP, an essential material for multijunction structures of III-V compounds for solar cells, can achieve better photovoltaic responses when grown on (111)GaAs faces, due to the large internal electric fields generated by the off-diagonal strain. In this work, we explored metalorganic chemical vapor deposition growth of GaInP layers on (001)-, (111)Ga-, and (111)As-GaAs substrates, using different phosphine flow rates. The structural and optical properties of the layers have been studied by micro-Raman spectroscopy, microphotoluminescence, and cathodoluminescence. Problems such as composition control, growth rate, and the presence of ordered phases are addressed.

Abstract
GaInP, an essential material for multijunction structures of III-V compounds for solar cells, can achieve better photovoltaic responses when grown on (111)GaAs faces, due to the large internal electric fields generated by the off-diagonal strain. In this work, we explored metalorganic chemical vapor deposition growth of GaInP layers on (001)-, (111)Ga-, and (111)As-GaAs substrates, using different phosphine flow rates. The structural and optical properties of the layers have been studied by micro-Raman spectroscopy, microphotoluminescence, and cathodoluminescence. Problems such as composition control, growth rate, and the presence of ordered phases are addressed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
