Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a GaAs solar battery with high photoelectric conversion efficiency strong to electron rays and manufacture thereof, by optimizing the carrier densities and thicknesses of a substrate and each layer in Ga1-xAlx As-GaAs hetero junction structures. CONSTITUTION:The N type GaAs substrate having carrier density of (1-20)X 10<16>/cm<3>, P type GaAs layer thereon with the thickness 0.6mum or less and P type Ga1-xAlxAs (0<X<1) layer thereon with the thickness 1mum or less ore provided. In manufacturing, crystal growing solution added with the solution of a ternary compound semiconductor, e.g. Ga, Al, As, GaAs and a II element, e.g. Zn as impurity to determine P type conductive type is made to contact this N type GaAs substrate to epitaxial-grow a P type GaAs layer further with a Ga1-xAlxAs (0<X<1) layer formed thereon.
