Thinned Germanium Substrates for III-V Multijunction Solar Cells
Ivan Lombardero, Naoya Miyashita, Mario Ochoa +2
Multijunction solar cells are usually grown on Ge substrates. This implies several disadvantages that hinder the performance of the whole multijunction and limit their possible app…
Resonant absorption in multilayer quantum-well and quantum-dot solar cells
Maxime Giteau, Yusuke Oteki, Kento Kitahara +3
Epitaxially-grown quantum well and quantum dot solar cells suffer from weak light absorption, strongly limiting their performance. Light trapping based on optical resonances is par…
Theoretical and Experimental Assessment of Thinned Germanium Substrates for III-V Multijunction Solar Cells
Iván Lombardero, Mario Ochoa, Naoya Miyashita +2
Solar cells manufactured on top of Ge substrates suffer from inherent drawbacks that hinder or limit their potential. The most deleterious ones are heavy weight, high bulk recombin…
