    Abstract: A tandem solar cell structure is described with the following features: (a) Monolithic configuration with at least two different absorbers (104, 108) of different materials for photovoltaic energy conversion (b) an absorber (108) consisting of crystalline silicon (c) a charge carrier selective contact arranged on the side of the silicon absorber (108) directed to the adjacent absorber (104) (d) configuration of the charge carrier selective contact from a thin interface oxide 107 and an amorphous, partially crystalline or polycrystalline layer applied thereto, mainly consisting of silicon, either p (106) or n doped (201) The charge carrier selective contact made up of layers 107 and 106 or 201, respectively, ensures excellent surface passivation of the crystalline silicon absorber 108, as well as selective extraction of a charge carrier type from the latter over the entire surface. Thus, a vertical current flow is achieved, so that lateral transverse conductivity is not required in every sub-cell.

  • Patent number: 10672947
    Abstract: A metal layer is formed by vapor deposition or sputtering on an AlN substrate. Since there are irregularities on the surface of the substrate, irregularities are also formed on the surface of the metal layer. Subsequently, irregularities on the surface of the metal layer are removed and flattened in a mirror state by grinding the surface of the metal layer. Then, a dielectric layer is formed on the metal layer by alternately forming a SiO2 film and a TiO2 film through CVD. Next, an electrode layer is formed in a predetermined pattern by vapor deposition and lift-off on the dielectric layer. Since the surface of the metal layer is flattened in a mirror state, reflectance is high on that surface. As a result, the emission efficiency of the light-emitting device can be improved.
