Abstract
In this work we report the stacking of 50 InAs/GaAs quantum dot layers with a GaAs spacer thickness of 18 nm using GaP monolayers for strain compensation. We find a good structural and optical quality of the fabricated samples including a planar growth front across the whole structure, a reduction in the quantum dot size inhomogeneity, and an enhanced thermal stability of the emission. The optimized quantum dot stack has been embedded in a solar cell structure and we discuss the benefits and disadvantages of this approach for high efficiency photovoltaic applications.
