Three-terminal heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell for high-efficiency photovoltaic conversion
Here we propose, for the first time, a solar cell characterized by a semiconductor transistor structure (n/p/n or p/n/p) where the base-emitter junction is made of a high-bandgap semiconductor and the collector is made of a low-bandgap semiconductor. We calculate its detailed-balance efficiency limit and prove that it is the same one than that of a double-junction solar cell. The practical impo...

متن کاملHigh Photoelectric Conversion Efficiency of Metal Phthalocyanine/Fullerene Heterojunction Photovoltaic Device
This paper introduces the fundamental physical characteristics of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Photoelectric conversion efficiency is crucial to the evaluation of quality in OPV devices, and enhancing efficiency has been spurring on researchers to seek alternatives to this problem. In this paper, we focus on organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices and review several approaches to enhance the ...
متن کاملGaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Emitter Design
We demonstrate that GaAs-based HBTs with very low base currents at both low and high injection levels can be achieved using either Al0.35Ga0.65As or InGaP in the emitter with the proper optimization of structure and growth. We observe an order of magnitude reduction in space charge recombination current as the Al composition, and hence the energy-gap, of the emitter increases from 25% (1.77 eV)...
