超高効率と高い耐放射線性が期待される量子ドット太陽電池は次世代の宇宙用太陽電池として期待されているが、放射線照射によって生じる欠陥準位や、その電気的特性への影響については明らかになっていない。今回、InAs量子ドットを埋め込んだGaAs pn接合ダイオードに陽子線を照射し、生成する欠陥準位(多数キャリア捕獲準位および少数キャリア捕獲準位)を欠陥準位評価法(Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy: DLTS)を用いて調べた。多くの多数キャリア捕獲準位の濃度が陽子線照射量に比例して増加する一方で、EL2と呼ばれるGaAs中の代表的な多数キャリア捕獲準位は増加せず、照射による影響を受けないことが判明した。加えて、正バイアスDLTS法を用いて欠陥準位を調べることで、量子ドット層に起因すると思われる少数キャリア捕獲準位を見出した。この少数キャリア捕獲準位の準位エネルギーは0.16eVと浅く、キャリアの輸送、すなわちデバイス特性の向上を妨げている要因になっている可能性があると結論できた。

In order to clarify the possibility of perovskite solar cells as space applications, their radiation response was evaluated. Perovskite solar cells fabricated on quartz substrates were irradiated with 1 MeV electrons up to 110 /cm. As a result, the degradation of their characteristics such as short circuit current, open circuit voltage and maximum power was very small and some solar cells did not show any degradation after 1 MeV electron irradiation at 110 /cm. This indicates that perovskite solar cells have superior radiation tolerance and are a promising candidate for space applications.

In order to develop high efficiency space solar cells with flexible and light weight, InGaP/GaAs/Ge Inverted Triple Junction (IMM-3J) solar cells mounted on film type sheet (film type space solar sheet) and glass type sheet (glass type space solar sheets) were fabricated and their reliability was investigated. As a result, no significant change in their characteristics (less than 1 % change) was observed for both types of space solar sheets after reliability tests, such as (1) thermal cycling (-180 to +120 C, 1000 cycles), (2) humidity and temperature (65 C, humidity 90 %, 720h), (3) high temperature under vacuum condition (160 C, less than 10 Torr, 168h), and (4) high temperature (150 C, 1000 h). Both type space solar sheets also showed high radiation resistance compared to current version of space 3J solar cells. Therefore, we can conclude that the space solar sheets have enough reliability in space environments.
