Summary
This report is a summary of the results obtained in the first year of a research program investigating the feasibility of using graded-band-gap solar cells under high illumination as an alternative to tandem cells. The graded-gap structure, studied both experimentally and theoretically, consisted of a p-Ga/sub 1-x/Al/sub x/As graded region from x = 0.33 to x = 0, followed by a GaAs p-n junction. The results indicate that the lightly doped p-region enhances the open-circuit voltage of the cell but deteriorates the fill factor. Problems associated with the growth of the layers are also outlined in this report.
