Self-Organized Corrugated Interface for Barrier Heterostructures to Solar Cells Application

This report is devoted to the investigation of self-organized microrelief morphology control and optimization of the microrelief processing leading to obtain hotosensitivity of solar cells (SC) enhancement. The use of the heterostructures (HS) with the corrugated interface as active element allows one to increase SC photoresponse due to the front surface reflection reduction (optical losses). Surface barrier HS of Au/GaAs were used as model structures to reveal general relationship between the scattered light intensity and morphology peculiarities of HS interfaces.
