Fabrication of High-Efficiency III–V on Silicon Multijunction Solar Cells by Direct Metal Interconnect
Abstract
This paper presents a novel direct-metal-interconnect hybrid integration method for the fabrication of low cost and high-efficiency multijunction solar cells without being constrained by lattice matching requirements. It also incorporates the areal current matching technique that is essential in mitigating the adverse effects of current limiting by the Si subcell to achieve maximum possible efficiency. A GaInP/InGaAs/Si triple-junction solar …
