Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE
We develop photovoltaic cells based on III‑V semiconductor compounds, which are composed of elements from the third and fifth groups of the periodic table.
For layer production, we have two modern reactors for industrial-scale metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE):
- An AIX2800 G4-TM reactor with an 8x6-inch configuration
- A CRIUS showerhead reactor for 7x4-inch or 1x300 mm substrates
We Have a Wide Range of Methods Available for Material Characterization:
- Electrochemical capacitance-voltage (ECV) profiling
- Spectrally and spatially resolved photoluminescence (PL)
- Electroluminescence (EL)
- Cathodoluminescence (CL)
- X-ray diffraction (XRD)
- Nomarski differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy
- Candela
- Reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS)
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
- Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS)
- Electron beam induced current (EBIC) measurements
- Electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI)
- Infrared Fourier spectroscopy
- Atomic force microscopy (AFM)
- Hall-Van der Pauw measurements
