  • Abstract
    The reduction of residual acceptors in GaAsN films and the improvement of GaAsN crystal quality evidenced by hole mobility and PL intensity were reported. Si doping using a SiH4 gas was also studied. Based on these results GaAsN homo-junction solar cells were fabricated by CBE at the first time. The short circuit current, open circuit voltage, fill factor and conversion efficiency of the GaAsN solar cell are 8.99 mA/cm2, 0.48 V, 0.43, and 1.93 %, respectively.
