AlxIn1-xN on Si (100) Solar Cells (x= 0-0.56) Deposited by RF Sputtering

We investigate the photovoltaic performance of solar cells based on n-AlxIn1-xN (x = 0-0.56) on p-Si (100) hetero-junctions deposited by radio frequency sputtering. The AlxIn1-xN layers own an optical bandgap absorption edge tuneable from 1.73 eV to 2.56 eV within the Al content range. This increase...
