InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs倒装结构三结太阳电池的辐照损伤仿真分析

Simulation analysis of irradiation damage of inverted InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs triple-junction solar cells

  • 摘要: 为了保证倒装结构三结电池在空间辐射环境中使用的可靠性,揭示倒装工艺引入位错缺陷对电池辐射衰减的影响,文章基于泊松方程和载流子传输方程建立了倒装结构InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs三结太阳电池的物理模型,在地面等效实验验证的基础上,研究辐射以及电池内部位错缺陷对电池输出的影响。首先通过模型研究了微观载流子复合与电池电学性能之间的关联,发现当1 MeV电子入射注量达到1014 cm-2时,该电池中少数载流子复合由辐射复合起主要作用转变为由非辐射复合起主要作用。此外,文中还给出了InGaAs底电池的非辐射少数载流子寿命以及电池电学参数与穿透位错密度(TDD)的函数关系,发现随着TDD的增加,辐照对少子寿命和电池性能的影响均减弱。

     

    Abstract: In this paper, a physical model of inverted InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs triple-junction solar cell was established based on Poisson equation and carrier transport equation to ensure the reliability of inverted triple-junction cell under space radiation, and to reveal the effect of dislocation defects introduced by inverted process on the radiation attenuation of the cells. On the basis of ground equivalent experimental verification, the effect of radiation and internal dislocation defects on cell output were studied. Firstly, the relationship between the microscopic carrier recombination and the electrical performance of the cell was studied using the model. It is found that, when the fluence of 1 MeV electron reaches 1014 cm-2, the non-radiative instead of radiative recombination of minority carriers dominates the degradation of the solar cells. In addition, the function relationship of the non-radiative minority carrier lifetime and electrical parameters with the threading dislocation density (TDD) of InGaAs bottom cells was simulated. It is found that, with the increase of TDD, the effect of radiation on the minority carrier lifetime decreases.
