Abstract

III-V devices are used in countless applications due to their excellent physical properties. They could become more prevalent, especially in area-intensive applications such as solar power, if they can achieve significant cost decreases through increasing scale. The development of high-throughput growth systems can help to achieve this scale, leading to the use of III-V devices in areas where they are not currently economically feasible. Here, we describe a pilot-production, pseudo inline HVPE reactor with the potential to greatly increase the throughput of III-V devices. We show computational modeling results that both informed system design and the understanding of the impact of different process parameters on the deposition. We show the throughput possibilities of this reactor with an example solar cell device design but note that this system is agnostic to the device structure and can be used to increase the throughput of lasers, LEDs, transistors, and more III-V devices.
