本文探究了c面蓝宝石衬底上AlGaN三元合金的等离子增强原子层沉积生长, 同时结合量子点敏化太阳能电池的制备, 研究了AlGaN合金的作用. AlGaN三元合金在原子层沉积过程中, 薄膜与衬底的界面以及带隙都与Al组分有关. 高Al组分时, AlGaN合金薄膜与衬底之间有较好的界面, 然而Al组分降低时, 界面变得粗糙. 原子层沉积制备的AlGaN合金具有较高的带隙, 与薄膜内的氧含量有关. 随后, 将AlN/GaN循环比例为1∶1的AlGaN薄膜分别制备CdSe/AlGaN/ZnS和CdSe/ZnS/AlGaN结构电池并进行了量子点太阳能电池的制备和分析. 结果发现, AlGaN对量子点和TiO2有修饰钝化作用, 可以包裹和保护TiO2和CdSe量子点结构, 从而避免了光生载流子的复合. 这种修饰作用也体现在改善量子点太阳能电池的开路电压、短路电流、填充因子和光电转化效率方面, 尝试从原子层沉积制备的AlGaN薄膜在改变载流子传输方面进行讨论.

The role of plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition growth of AlGaN ternary alloys on c-planar sapphire substrates and the preparation of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells are explored in this work. The interface between the film and the substrate as well as the band gap of AlGaN ternary alloys during atomic layer deposition is dependent on Al component. At high Al fraction, there appears a good interface between the AlGaN alloy film and the substrate, however, the interface becomes rough when the Al fraction is reduced. The AlGaN alloy prepared by atomic layer deposition has a high band gap, which is related to the oxygen content within the film. Subsequently, CdSe/AlGaN/ZnS and CdSe/ZnS/AlGaN structured cells are prepared and analyzed for quantum dot solar cells from AlGaN films with an AlN/GaN cycle ratio of 1∶1. It is found that AlGaN can modify and passivate quantum dots and TiO2, which can wrap and protect the structure of TiO2 and CdSe quantum dot, thus avoiding the recombination of photo-generated carriers. This modification effect is also reflected in the improvement of open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, filling factor and photovoltaic conversion efficiency of quantum dot solar cells. These factors are discussed in this work, trying to modify carrier transport characteristics of AlGaN films prepared by atomic layer deposition.-
