✦ Synopsis

In the last two years, rapid progress has been made in the energy conversion efficiencies of GaAs solar cells fabricated from molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) material. The efliciencies of cells fabricated from MBE material are now comparable with those fabricated from metal-organic chemical vapor deposition material, even for cells of dimension 2 cm Γ— 4 cm. This paper reviews the progress in MBE cell efliciencies. Also discussed is the role oval defects play in GaAs diode and solar cell performance.

We investigate the effect of excitons on the photo-absorption in the solar-cell with AlGaAs/GaAs superlattice active layer. Absorption spectrum measured at room temperature is analyzed by using numerical simulation. Experimentally obtained spectrum is well explained by the simulation taking the exci
