  • Abstract
    The epitaxial lift-off technique has been applied to dual-junction III-V solar cells grown in inverted order (subcell with highest band gap is grown first). It is shown that growing in inverse order is not trivial since both the tunnel junction and the InGaP subcell perform differently.
