Abstract

The invention provides a photovoltaic converter consisting of a multilayer quantum medium with the optimized layer number. The medium comprises a plurality of layers of quantum dot well composite semiconductor stack structures separated by separation layers with the optimized thickness. The thickness of the separation layers is optimized, so that each of photo-generated voltage and photo-generatedlight current is respectively increased by 20 percent. The photovoltaic converter with the multilayer quantum medium comprises a semiconductor substrate 11, wherein the following layers including anundoped semiconductor layer 13 and a p type doped semiconductor emission layer 16 are sequentially arranged on the semiconductor substrate 11, wherein the undoped semiconductor layer 13 comprises themultilayer quantum medium consisting of a series of quantum dot well layers 14 and the separation layers 15. The thickness of the separation layers 15 is optimized, and is enabled to be in a range of35 to 45 nm, so that the light current and the voltage of the photovoltaic converter are respectively increased by 20 percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor optoelectronic device, which can convert optical signals and electrical signals, more specifically, a photovoltaic converter and a photodiode, which can be used in the fields of solar energy, optical sensors, optical data processing, and optical communications. Background technique [0002] Quantum-scale heterojunctions are widely used in the field of modern light-emitting and photovoltaic semiconductor devices. This heterojunction is based on the principle of lattice mismatch between quantum-scale materials and surrounding materials. Currently, devices based on quantum wells (QWs) and quantum dots (QDs) are most practically used. One advantage of devices based on strained QWs and QDs is the ability to absorb and emit light at longer wavelengths compared to devices based on bulk materials. In particular, the use of InGaAs QWs and InAs QDs has made it possible to fabricate photovoltaic converters (PCs) with edge...
