摘要
We present the results of optimization of the design and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth technology of N-AlGaAs:Si/n (+)-GaAs:Si/p (+)-GaAs:Be/P-AlGaAs:Be heterostructures for tunnel diodes (TDs). The achieved maximum peak current density level (J (p) = 513 A/cm(2)) allows these TDs to be used for cascade connections both in multijunction solar cells and in structures of tunnel-coupled laser diodes. The initial region of the J-U curve of TDs exhibits nonlinearity that is explained by a residual potential barrier left in the p (+)-P-p (+) isotype heterojunction (confining the active region of TD) as a result of non-optimum doping of Al0.4Ga0.6As alloy.
