Abstract

After the successful implementation of a record performing dual-junction solar cell at ultra high concentration, in this paper we present the transition to a triple-junction device. The semiconductor structure of the solar cells is presented and the main changes in respect to a dual-junction design are briefly discussed. Cross-sectional TEM analysis of samples confirms that the quality of the triple-junction structures grown by MOVPE is good, revealing no trace of antiphase disorder, and showing flat, sharp and clear interfaces between the layers. Triple-junction solar cells manufactured on these structures have shown a peak efficiency of 36.2% at 700X, maintaining the efficiency over 35% from 300 to 1200 suns. With some changes in the structure and a fine tuning of its processing, efficiencies close to 40% at 1000 suns are envisaged.
