HIGH OPTICAL QUALITY POLYCRYSTALLINE INDIUM PHOSPHIDE GROWN ON METAL SUBSTRATES BY MOCVD

摘要

A new solar cell is disclosed wherein the solar cell comprises a substrate, a VIB metal thin film deposited on the substrate, and a polycrystalline III-V semiconductor thin film deposited on the VIB metal thin film.;A method of making the solar cell is described comprising providing a substrate, depositing a VIB metal thin film on the substrate, and depositing a polycrystalline III-V semiconductor thin film on the VIB metal thin film. In one embodiment a polycrystalline III-V semiconductor thin film comprising Indium Phosphide (InP) is deposited on a VIB metal thin film comprising Molybdenum (Mo) by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD).
