摘要
The electrical transport properties of n-InxGa1-xN heterojunctions with Si(111) were investigated. InGaN films were grown by molecular beam epitaxy and either an AlN or Si3N4 buffer layer was used. For x in the range of 15-45%, an ohmic junction is obtained with p-type Si and a rectifying junction is formed with n-type Si. The n-InGaN/n-Si heterojunction device functions as a solar cell. The series resistance is lower and the power conversion efficiency is higher for InGaN devices grown with an AlN buffer layer. (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
