Improved GaInP/GaAs/GaInAs inverted metamorphic triple-junction solar cells by reduction of Zn diffusion in the top subcell
Manuel Hinojosa, Ivan Lombardero, Carlos Algora +1
The growth of heavily doped tunnel junctions in inverted metamorphic multijunction solar cells induces a strong diffusion of Zn via a point-defects-assisted mechanism. The redistri…
Hybrid III-V/SiGe solar cells on Si substrates and porous Si substrates
Pablo Caño, Manuel Hinojosa, Luis Cifuentes +6
A tandem GaAsP/SiGe solar cell has been developed employing group-IV reverse buffer layers grown on silicon substrates with a subsurface porous layer. Reverse buffer layers facilit…
Evidence of enhanced Zn-diffusion observed during the growth of Inverted Metamorphic Solar Cells
Manuel Hinojosa, Ivan Garcia, Ignacio Rey-Stolle +1
Zinc-diffusion can induce multiple failures in the electrical performance of a multijunction solar cell. In this work, we show an important Zn-diffusion from the AlGaInP back-surfa…
Inverted GaInP/GaAs Three-Terminal Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Solar Cell
Marius H. Zehender, Simon. A. Svatek, Myles A. Steiner +6
Here we present the experimental results of an inverted three-terminal heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell (HBTSC) made of GaInP/GaAs. The inverted growth and processing e…
Impact of the III-V/Ge nucleation routine on the performance of high efficiency multijunction solar cells
Laura Barrutia, Ivan García, Enrique Barrigon +3
This paper addresses the influence of III-V nucleation routines on Ge substrates for the growth of high efficiency multijunction solar cells. Three exemplary nucleation routines wi…
Ge virtual substrates for high efficiency III-V solar cells: applications, potential and challenges
Iván García, Manuel Hinojosa, Iván Lombardero +7
Virtual substrates based on thin Ge layers on Si by direct deposition have achieved high quality recently. Their application to high efficiency III-V solar cells is analyzed in thi…
