The emission spectra of the sample consisted of strong multiple peaks associated with one stimulated emission(SE) located at 430 nm and two spontaneous emissions(SPE) centered at about 450 nm and 480 nm, indicating the co-existence of shallow and deep localized states.The peak energy of SE exhibiting weak s-shaped variation with increasing temperature revealed the localization effect of excitons. Moreover, an abnormal increase of the SPE intensity with increasing temperature was also observed, which indicated that the carrier transfer between the shallow and deeper localized states exists. Temperature dependent time-resolved PL(TRPL) demonstrated the carrier transfer processes among the localized states. In addition, a slow thermalization of hot carriers was observed in InGaN film by using TRPL and transient differential reflectivity, which is attributed to the phonon bottleneck effect induced by indium aggregation.展开更多

In this study, boron-doped p+-emitters are formed by boron diffusion in an open-tube furnace using borontribromide(BBr3) as precursor. The formed emitters are characterized in detail in terms of shape of the doping profile, surface doping concentration, junction depth, sheet resistance and removal of the boron-rich layer(BRL). In the aspect of BRL removal, three different methods were adopted to investigate their influence on device performance. The results demonstrate that our proposed chemical etch treatment(CET) with the proper etching time could be an effective way to remove the BRL.After removal of the BRL, Al_2 O_3/SiN_x stacks are deposited by atomic layer deposition(ALD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) to passivate the cell surface. It was found that a reasonably-high implied Voc of 680 mV has been achieved for the fabricated n-type Si solar cells.展开更多

The crack-free laser structure was epitaxially grown on Si substrates using an Al-composed down-graded Al N/AlGaN multilayer buffer to mitigate the mismatches in the lattice constant and coefficient of thermal expansion, and processed into “sandwich-like” microdisk structures with a radius of 12 μm. Air-bridge electrodes were successfully fabricated to enable the device electrical characterization. The electrically pumped lasing of the as-fabricated microdisk laser diodes was evidenced by the rapid narrowing down of electroluminescence spectra and dramatic increase in the light output power, as the current exceeded the threshold of 248 mA.展开更多
