Description:
The projected promise of the OMCVD approach, i.e., to make high efficiency GaAs space cells, has been demonstrated. The properties and control of the deposited GaAs and AlGaAs layers and the uniformity of the post layer processing have been most satisfactory. In particular the control of the critical thin layers (p-GaAs, p-AlGaAs) has been impressive. Experience has also been gained in routine areas, connected with continuous operation at high capacity. There are still a few areas for improvement, to further increase capacity, and to anticipate and prevent mechanical equipment problems.
