'tlt is a pn junction battery which is a cell layer, 3 is a fast junction layer by nLp+ junction, da is a pn junction battery which is an upper battery layer, S is a window layer, each layer l to j is laminated in this order,

。Such a monolithic cascade battery is manufactured by growing multiple layers on a substrate and sequentially stacking them in a single layer, so if the lattice constants of each layer do not match, defects due to lattice misalignment will be introduced in each layer. This leads to a decrease in effectiveness.

み合わせは楓々存在するが、窓1ti !まで考慮する
と、上記エネルギーギャップ値の関係を満たし、かつ格
子整合のとれる組4合わせは存在しない。By the way, as is well known in the case of GaAs solar storm ponds, in solar cells that utilize direct light absorption, carriers are generated on the very surface of the conductor, so the surface coupling is significant. Unable to improve efficiency. For this reason, there is a method of reducing surface recombination by providing a window layer j made of a material whose band gap is about 0.3 eV larger than that of the material of the upper battery layer l between the upper battery layer D and the upper electrode 6. has been adopted. However, the lattice constants from the substrate/glass to the upper battery layer e are the same, and the band gap of the upper battery layer is eV, and the band gap of the lower battery layer is 0.9! ; There are many combinations of materials that satisfy the conditions for achieving eV7, but there is no window 1ti! Considering the above, there are no four combinations that satisfy the above energy gap value relationship and are lattice matched.

率しか実現されていなかった。Therefore, there is no other way than to deviate the energy gap value from the ideal value or to sacrifice lattice matching to create a monolithic cascade thick battery. However, in any case, the efficiency does not improve because of deviation from the ideal state, and only a conversion efficiency of about /S%, which is lower than that of a solar cell using a knitted element, has been achieved.

In this case, the above-mentioned disturbance and battery are constructed of pn junction batteries, and the upper battery layer is horizontally represented by an MIS structure.

On the surface of /, holes and electrons are separated by a large internal electric field, so the probability of recombination of electrons and holes is reduced without passing through the window layer 5 as in the conventional case. Furthermore, in this example, since the lattice matching between the substrate r and each layer is completely achieved, it is unlikely that crystal defects that would cause a decrease in efficiency would be introduced.

In addition, the lower battery layer θ is constructed in the order of
By using a p-type layer of O,52A'0,48As, it is also possible to obtain a thick battery having a structure in which the interface with the absolute film serves as an accumulation layer. However, in this case, the efficiency is about 2% lower than in the embodiment described above. This is p-type InA
Band bending at the interface between lAs and the insulating film or n-type I
This is thought to be because it is not as pronounced as in the case of nAlAs.

This has the advantage of improving conversion efficiency.
