Abstract

We fabricated and characterized a two-junction GaInN-based solar cell using a tunnel junction fabricated by crystal growth. This solar cell has two active layers with a differing bandgap energy corresponding to blue or green light. We confirmed that the open-circuit voltage (VOC) in this solar cell was increased by the series connection using the tunnel junction. The short-circuit current density, VOC, fill factor, and energy conversion efficiency of this solar cell were 0.28 mA/cm2, 3.0 V, 0.5, and 0.41%, respectively, under an air mass filter of 1.5 G at 1-sun irradiation and room temperature.
