Investigation of Large Area Dendritic Web Type Germanium Photovoltaic Cells.

摘要

This final report describes the development of a large-area thermophotovoltaic cell made on germanium web. The web growth process is discussed,including the modifications necessary for growth of N-type web of resistivity as low as 0.004ohm-cm. Devices utilizing either front or back junctions,and prepared either by alloying or by diffusion,were prepared. Of these devices,the gallium-diffused front junction type showed most promise as a thermophotovoltaic power generator. (Author)
