    摘要: A method of forming a photovoltaic device includes a plurality of quantum wells and a plurality of barriers. The quantum wells and barriers are disposed on an underlying layer. The barriers alternate with the quantum wells. One of the plurality of quantum wells and the plurality of barriers is comprised of tensile strained layers and the other of the plurality of quantum wells and the plurality of barriers is comprised of compressively strained layers. The tensile and compressively strained layers have elastic properties. The method includes selecting compositions and thicknesses of the barriers and quantum wells taking into account the elastic properties such that each period of one tensile strained layer and one compressively strained layer exerts substantially no shear force on a neighboring structure; providing the underlying layer; and forming the quantum sells and barriers on the underlying layer according to the derived compositions and thicknesses.

    摘要: A light-absorbing device and method employ a series of photon-absorbing semiconductor substructures. A first semiconductor substructure provides first and second energy states. A difference between the first and second states being such as to cause an electron to be promoted from the first state to the second state upon absorption of a photon of a first energy. A second semiconductor substructure provides third and fourth energy states. The third state is arranged to receive the electron from the second state. A difference between the third and fourth states being such as to cause the electron to be promoted from the third state to the fourth state upon absorption of a subsequent photon of a second energy. The third state has a lower energy than the second state, such as to cause the electron to dissipate energy as it passes from the second state to the third state.
