Abstract

We report here the diffusion behavior of zinc in n-type GaSb in the temperature range of 450–540 °C. The diffusion was carried out in a closed box system using a zinc-gallium source. The diffusion profiles were obtained using secondary ion mass spectrometry. From the diffusion profiles, concentration dependent diffusion coefficients were calculated using Boltzman–Montano analysis. These data have been qualitatively interpreted in terms of the interstitial-substitutional diffusion model originally proposed for zinc diffusion in GaAs. Finally, diffused junction GaSb solar cells were fabricated and their performance evaluated.
