Abstract

An integration method is used to demonstrate GaAs-SiGe one-sun solar cell efficiencies in excess of 18%. The results demonstrate that using SiGe interlayers to produce virtual Ge substrates may provide a robust method for scaleable integration of high performance III-V photovoltaics devices with large area Si wafers.
