摘要
In this paper, the potential of high conversion efficiency of solar energy through the combination of Al0.2Ga0.8As and Si cells is illustrated by a mechanically stacked tandem using, for the first time, the epitaxial lift-off (ELO) technique to remove the top cell from its substrate. The selective etching of the GaAs substrate provides efficient light transmission to the bottom cell. Photoluminescence decay experiments show that substrate removal also enhances photon recycling effects. The measured efficiency of the Al0.2Ga0.8As/Si tandem reaches 21% AM1.5.
