METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SOLID-STATE PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL FOR LIGHT-TO-ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONVERSION Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: optoelectronics; radiant-to-electrical energy conversion, semiconductor engineering. SUBSTANCE: photovoltaic cell may be found useful in optoelectronics, medical procedures such as ultraviolet irradiation in physiotherapeutic rooms, at agroindustrial enterprises for irradiating animals, in environment control for measuring low-intensity radiation from screens of television sets and computer monitors. Its manufacturing process is as follows: inorganic galliumarsenide (Gs-As) semiconductor substrate highly doped with donor impurity is covered by vacuum evaporation with thin layer of organic n- type semiconductor of indium chloride phthalocyanine (ClInPc) possessing high absorption coefficient in ultraviolet region. Photosensitivity of voltaic cell manufactured in this way is as high as up to 10^-4 W/m². EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities and enhanced photosensitivity of cell. 2 dwg, 1 tbl
