Growth of 0.55eV-GaInAsSb Quaternary Alloy Films for a Thermophotovoltaic Device by Liquid Phase Epitaxy

Lattice matched Ga_(1-x)In_xAs_ySb_(1-y) quaternary alloy films for thermophotovoltaic cells were successfully grown on n-type GaSb substrates by liquid phase epitaxy. Mirror-like surfaces for the epitaxial layers were achieved and evaluated by atomic force microscopy. The composition of the Ga_(1-x)In_xAs_ySb_(1-y) layer was characterized by energy dispersive X-ray analysis with the result that x = 0.2, y = 0.17. The absorption edges of the Ga_(1-x)In_xAs_ySb_(1-y) films were determined to be 2. 256μm at room temperature by Fourier transform infrared transmission spectrum analysis, corresponding to an energy gap of 0.55eV. Hall measurements show that the highest obtained electron mobility in the undoped p-type samples is 512cm2~/(V·s) and the carrier density is 6. 1×10~(16)cm~(-3) at room temperature. Finally, GaInAsSb based thermophotovoltaic cells in different structures with quantum efficiency values of around 60% were fabricated and the spectrum response characteristics of the cells are discussed.
