Abstract :
Native oxide layers on n-type GaAs have been grown by aqueous anodic oxidation technique using AGW electrolyte. The effect of thickness of the As2O3rich interfacial oxide layer having a resistivity ~ 1014Ω . cm on the performance of GaAs MOS solar cells has been investigated. An attempt has been made to optimize the oxide layer thickness for achieving optimum efficiency.
