| Abstract | Hybrid solar cells combining organic polymers and inorganic semiconductors are extensively investigated recently due to relatively inexpensive cost and simple fabrication processes. In this work, we demonstrate organic/inorganic hybrid heterojunction solar cells based on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate and conjugated polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). First we performed a one-dimensional device simulation based on a self-consistent Poisson and drift-diffusion solver to survey the band alignment between the conductive polymer and GaAs materials and achieve a practical device design. Second, for device fabrication, we prepare a cleaned one-side-polished planar GaAs wafer, followed by thermal evaporation of back-side metal using either Aluminum or titanium/gold as the cathode. Next, PEDOT:PSS is spun-cast onto the wafer and annealed at 115°C for 10 minutes. To improve carrier conduction, we use a self-assembled polystyrene (PS) nanosphere lithography technique to form the sacrificial mask layer, and perform anisotropic metal-assisted chemical etching on GaAs substrates. Various nanostructures such as nanowires or nanorods allow the conformal p-n heterojunction formation at the interface of organic/inorganic semiconductors, which can be beneficial for both light absorption and carrier collection. The optical and electrical characteristics such as reflectance, current voltage, and external quantum efficiency are measured. Currently, we achieve a 3.2% power conversion efficiency with an open-circuit voltage of 0.565 V, short-circuit current of 8.95 $mA/cm^{2},$ and a fill factor of 63.29% under a simulated AM1.5G illumination for planar substrates. Device fabrication with GaAs nanowires is still in process and more data will be presented. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
