摘要
We have applied an InGaAs solar cell (band gap = 0.75 eV) to the bottom cell of the super-high-efficiency tandem solar cell aiming an over 35% conversion efficiency. The InGaAs cell which is lattice-matched to the InP substrate showed the efficiency of 5.5% under the GaAs substrate with low carrier concentration. Combining with the GaAs cell by means of a mechanically stacking technique, we obtained an efficiency of 28.8% at air mass (AM) 1.5, 1-sun. This result suggests the possibility of the cells with the efficiency of over 35% with combining a GaInP/GaAs monolithic tandem cell and the InGaAs cell (or InGaAsP cell).
