- the advantage of this technology is that it can effectively reduce the dislocation density, and the stripped substrate can be recycled, which reduces the cost.
- the main technical difficulty is that the whole manufacturing process: overcome nm 0 3 Ga from the GaAs lattice constant of 0.5653 to In..
- a GalnNAsSb quaternary nitrogen-based material that uses molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth and lattice matching of a GaAs substrate is disclosed in US Patent Publication No. 20110232730A1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- MBE molecular beam epitaxy
- MOCVD metal organic chemical vapor deposition
- the present invention discloses a lattice matched flip-chip multi-junction solar cell and a method of fabricating the same, which first adopts M
- the OCVD device performs epitaxial growth of the wide bandgap cell, and then uses MBE to grow the epitaxial structure of the narrow bandgap subcell, thereby obtaining a high efficiency flip-chip multi-junction solar cell.

- a flip-chip multijunction solar cell obtained by the method is prepared, wherein a lattice constant of the first epitaxial structure matches a lattice constant of the second epitaxial structure.
- the first epitaxial structure formed in the step (2) further includes a transfer isolation layer formed on a top surface thereof, and the transfer isolation layer is removed before the step (3) is performed. After cleaning, polishing to a directly epitaxial state (Epi-ready state), then immediately transfer the above structure to the MBE device for step (3).
- a directly epitaxial state Eti-ready state
- the step (2) includes the following sub-steps: forming an etch-off layer on the growth substrate; flip-chip growth with a wide band gap by MOCVD method over the etch-off layer a multi-junction cell stack for absorbing short-wavelength sunlight; forming a transfer isolation layer on the wide-bandgap multi-junction cell; after completing step (2), removing the transfer isolation layer by etching with a selective etching solution The surface is cleaned, polished to a directly epitaxial state (Epi-ready state), and then the above structure is immediately transferred to the MBE device for step (3).
- the transfer isolation layer is used to perform external oxidation, vulcanization, organic pollution, impurity adsorption, and water vapor adsorption in the process of switching to different growth equipment (MBE equipment) after the first epitaxial growth, before performing the next epitaxy. It erodes away along with surface impurities, thereby protecting the underlying functional layer.
- MBE equipment growth equipment
- the growth temperature of the step (2) is higher than the growth temperature of the step (3).
- the use of flip-chip growth avoids the effects of different substrate temperatures, forming a multi-junction solar cell raft, protecting the grown wide bandgap cell from high temperature damage.
- the growth temperature of the MOCVD in the step (2) may be 620 to 700 ° C
- the growth temperature of the MBE in the step (3) may be 5 00 ⁇ 600. C.

- the MBE method involves atomic or molecular beam strikes the substrate, and may not require too high a substrate temperature to grow at a relatively low temperature.
- the M OCVD method uses the organic source cracking reaction chamber to deposit and grow. The substrate temperature needs to be cracked by the organic source, and then a chemical reaction occurs for deposition, so the substrate temperature is generally high.
- the manufacturing method of the present invention combines the difference between the two growth methods, and uses MOCVD to grow a broadband gap cell, which has a large mass production capability, but the substrate temperature is relatively high, which is superior to the MBE-grown sub-battery, which is the overall battery structure.
- the original intention of flip-chip epitaxy is such that high-efficiency multi-junction solar cells with high crystal quality can be obtained, while avoiding the effects of different substrate temperatures.
- the growth of a partial sub-cell by MOCVD can reduce the epitaxial cost and increase the mass production capability.
- the respective sub-cells obtained by the fabrication method of the present invention are all lattice-matched and have high crystal quality, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is high.
