Article Synopsis
- Researchers are exploring a method to lower the cost of III-V solar cells by detaching them from their growth substrate, allowing for the reuse of the substrate to produce multiple cells.
- The study focuses on smoothing the faceted surfaces left on GaAs(100) substrates after spalling to enable the growth of high-quality solar cells.
- The smoothing process can be influenced by the choice of epilayer material and the introduction of impurities or dopants, which significantly affect the smoothness and rate of surface improvement.
