AlGaAs/GaAs太阳电池抗辐照性能的研究(英文)

Studies on the Irradiation Resistance of AIGaAs/GaAs Solar Cell

The changes of performence of AlGaAs/GaAs heteroface solar cell after 1 -MeV electron irradiation has been studied by the experimental and numerical fitting. Using an improved damped least square method, the spectral response and dark J-V characteristic of the cells are fitted according to the various theoretical formulas. From the fitting calculation, a number of materials, structural and electric parameters of the cell are obtained. The experimental data and calculated results show that the critical irradiation flux of the cell is about 2.2×1014 cm-2, the damge constant KL for the minority carrier diffusion length in n-GaAs layer due to irradiation is found to be larger than that in p-GaAs, layer, they are about 7.0×10-3 and 2.2×10-7, respectively, the degradation of the minority carrier diffusion length in p-GaAs layer and the increase in the recombination velocity at interfaec are the majar reasons for the cell performence degradation. The cell with a shallow junction has higher irradiation resistance than the one with a deep junction. Based on the studies, the method for improving the irradiation resistance of the cell is discussed.
