The growth and characterization of germanium interconnects is described in this paper. Resistivity measurements indicate that n+-GaAs/p +-Ge/p+-GaAs structures may be the most viable interconnect yet reported for monolithic cascade cells. Specific interface resistivities as low as 1 Γ 10 -4 ~2 cm 2
The adoption of graded energy gap structures in p and n regions of cascade cells, together with tunnel diodes as interconnecting junctions, can overcome several problems inherent in these systems. A new design that incorporates the advantages of these two strategies is proposed.
