摘要:
A photoelectric conversion cell includes a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer which are positioned apart from each other at an interval, a first semiconductor layer positioned on the first electrode layer and having a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer 4 positioned on or above the first semiconductor layer and having a second conductivity type forming a p-n junction with the first semiconductor layer, a connecting part for electrically connecting the second semiconductor layer to the second electrode layer, and a linear electrode positioned on or above the second semiconductor layer and reaching a first end of the second semiconductor layer from the connecting part.
摘要:
A solar cell includes a semiconductor substrate and a sequence of semiconductor layers disposed over the substrate including a window layer. The solar cell also includes a semiconductor silicon-containing cap layer over the window layer. The cap layer is spatially separated from the window layer by a semiconductor barrier layer that either includes no silicon or has a silicon concentration that is significantly lower than the silicon concentration of the cap layer.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention generally relate to photovoltaic devices. In one embodiment, a method for forming a gallium arsenide based photovoltaic device includes providing a semiconductor structure, the structure including an absorber layer comprising gallium arsenide. A bypass function is provided in a p-n junction of the semiconductor structure, where under reverse-bias conditions the p-n junction breaks down in a controlled manner by a Zener breakdown effect.
