SBIR Phase II: Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) Devices Based on II3-V2 Compounds

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）二期项目的总体目标是开发和示范一种基于II3V2薄膜的热光伏发电机。研究的主要部分将致力于进一步改进采用有机金属化学气相沉积（MOCVD）方法生长的低成本基于II3V2的薄膜hertojunction器件。此外，将开发单晶互连模块以及高性能所需的特殊光学涂层。在项目结束时，计划展示一个完全可操作的工作原型产品。与战略合作伙伴和投资者的接触已经开始，并将在第二阶段项目中继续成熟。

This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase II project has as its overall objective, the development and demonstration of a thin film, II3V2 based Thermophotovoltaic power generator. The major portion of the effort will be devoted to the further improvement of low cost II3V2 based thin film hertojunction devices grown by organo-metallic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). In addition, mono lithic - interconnected modules will be developed as well as the special optical coatings needed for high performance. At the conclusion of the program, it is planned to demonstrate a fully operational working prototype product. Contact with strategic partners and investors has already begun and will continue to mature during the Phase II program.
