  • Abstract
    In a recent paper, we have shown that optimum device performance can be achieved by using relatively thin structures and moderate doping concentrations in InGaAs(P) photovoltaic (PV) cells. We report in this paper the implementation and assessment of single-junction InGaAs and InGaAsP PV cells lattice-matched to InP. Three bandgaps (0.74, 1.0 and 1.2 eV) and both n/p and p/n structure configurations have been studied.
