摘要: A single-step wet etch process is provided to isolate multijunction solar cells on semiconductor substrates, wherein the wet etch chemistry removes semiconductor materials nonselectively without a major difference in etch rate between different heteroepitaxial layers. The solar cells thus formed comprise multiple heterogeneous semiconductor layers epitaxially grown on the semiconductor substrate.

摘要: Semiconductor devices having a high-temperature barrier layer between a III-V material and an underlying substrate are disclosed. The high-temperature barrier layer can minimize or prevent diffusion of arsenic and phosphorous from an overlying layer into the underlying substrate. Dilute nitride-containing multijunction photovoltaic cells incorporating a high-temperature barrier layer exhibit high efficiency.

摘要: Photovoltaic cells, methods for fabricating surface mount multijunction photovoltaic cells, methods for assembling solar panels, and solar panels comprising photovoltaic cells are disclosed. The surface mount multijunction photovoltaic cells include through-wafer-vias for interconnecting the front surface epitaxial layer to a contact pad on the back surface. The through-wafer-vias are formed using a wet etch process that removes semiconductor materials non-selectively without major differences in etch rates between heteroepitaxial III-V semiconductor layers.
