Abstract

Carrier removal rate in the n ⁺ emitter and p ^- base layers in lattice-mismatched In _0.56Ga _0.44P solar cells under 1-MeV-electron irradiation was studied. Standard capacitance-voltage techniques were used to determine the change in carrier concentration in the base layer. The carrier removal in the 1 × 10 ¹⁷ cm ^-3 p ^- material was observed to be at a rate R _c = 1.3 cm ^-1, which was consistent with that of lattice-mismatched InGaP. carrier concentration in the 2 × 10 ¹⁸ cm ^-3 n ⁺ emitter layer was reduced to 1 × 10 ¹⁸ cm ^-3 after exposure to an electron fluence.
