| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The intermediate band solar cell is one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of photovoltaic cells with a maximum theoretical efficiency of >60% under sunlight concentration, and quantum dot based solar cells gained intense research.
In this work, type-II GaSb/AlGaAs quantum dot solar cells were investigated for application to intermediate band solar cells. Multi-stacked GaSb quantum dots were embedded in the i-region of host GaAs or AlGaAs single-junction solar cells. Fourier transform photocurrent spectroscopy with absolute intensity calibration revealed infrared external quantum efficiency spectra by two-step photon absorption. Thermionic emission of photo-carriers was suppressed efficiently in these device architectures, and significant photocurrent production via two-step photon absorption was confirmed at room temperature operation.
