Apparatus and method for optimizing the efficiency of germanium junctions in multi-junction solar cells

Apparatus and Method for Optimizing the Efficiency of Germanium Junctions in Multi-Junction Solar Cells. In a preferred embodiment, an indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) nucleation layer is disposed between the germanium (Ge) substrate and the overlying dual-junction epilayers for controlling the diffusion depth of the n-doping in the germanium junction. Specifically, by acting as a diffusion barrier to arsenic (As) contained in the overlying epilayers and as a source of n-type dopant for forming the germanium junction, the nucleation layer enables the growth time and temperature in the epilayer device process to be minimized without compromising the integrity of the dual-junction epilayer structure. This in turn allows the arsenic diffusion into the germanium substrate to be optimally controlled by varying the thickness of the nucleation layer. An active germanium junction formed in accordance with the present invention has a typical diffused junction depth that is ⅕ to ½ of that achievable in prior art devices. Furthermore, triple-junction solar cells incorporating a shallow n-p germanium junction of the present invention can attain 1 sun AM0 efficiencies in excess of 26%.

Mechanically-stable BJT with reduced base-collector capacitance

A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) requires the fabrication of a BJT structure and of a support post which is adjacent to, but physically and electrically isolated from, the BJT structure. The BJT structure includes a semi-insulating substrate, a subcollector, a collector, a base, and an emitter. Metal contacts are formed on the subcollector and emitter to provide collector and emitter terminals. Contact to the structure's base is accomplished with a metal contact which extends from the top of the support post to the edge of the base nearest the support post. The contact bridges the physical and electrical separation between the support post and the base and provides a base terminal for the device. The base contact need extend over the edge of the base by no more than the transfer length associated with the fabrication process. This results in the smaller base contact area over the collector than would otherwise be necessary, and a consequent reduction in base-collector capacitance. The invention is particularly useful when forming heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), built on a compound semiconductor substrate such as indium phosphide (InP).
