Abstract :
An optimization it done on the fill factor of an M BE-grown p-on-n GaSb photovoltaic by reducing the series resistance brought on by the layout of the front metal electrodes while simultaneously minimizing their coverage area. The optimization indicates a variation in the substrate carrier lifetime.
