Passivation of GaAs for efficient solar cells

Due to the need for a more efficient and simpler to manufacture solar cell, this project aims to produce design, fabricate and test a tandem passivation layer in the form of Al2O3 and IGZO to increase the efficiency of an n-GaAs solar cell. The fabrication is designed to utilise RF Magnetron deposit...

Description
Summary:Due to the need for a more efficient and simpler to manufacture solar cell, this project aims to produce design, fabricate and test a tandem passivation layer in the form of Al2O3 and IGZO to increase the efficiency of an n-GaAs solar cell. The fabrication is designed to utilise RF Magnetron deposition, Atomic Layer Deposition, Reactive Ion Etching, and Rapid Thermal Annealing. To test the performance, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy, Quasi Steady-State Photoconductance, and I-V Characteristics curve were considered.
