Popis: In this work nitride heterostructures were simulated for optoelectronic devices such as photodetectors (phototransistors) and solar cells for improving their efficiency. The influence of aluminium atoms and doping as well as temperature on AlGaN/GaN-based heterojunction phototransistors characteristics have been studied. The results suggest that the AlGaN/GaN phototransistor with the Al concentration – 28% and the doping concentration - Nd = 2 × 1015 cm−3 and Na = 2.1 × 1016 cm−3, exhibits a considerable sensitivity and the quantum efficiency approaching about 10%. Solar cells model based on GaN/Si heterostructure was created. The optimum heterostructure design and doping profile were defined. Quite high solar cell efficiencies based on n-GaN−p-Si heterostructures such as 14.35% at 1 · AM 1.5 and 21.10% at 1000 · AM 1.5 were achieved.
