We investigated the potential of low-temperature pulsed sputtering deposition (PSD) for the fabrication of high-In-composition thick InGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs). Low-temperature PSD growth allowed the growth of a 100-period 1.2-nm-thick In0.3Ga0.7N MQW on GaN bulk crystals without apparent lattice relaxation. We fabricated a nitride-based photovoltaic device using 100-period In0.3Ga0.7N MQW absorption layers and obtained a clear photovoltaic response with an open-circuit voltage of 1.24 V, a short-circuit current density of 1.76 mA·cm−2, and a maximum output power density of 1.10 mW·cm−2 under 1 sun with air mass 1.5 illumination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
