Abstract

This document describes the successful demonstration of high efficiency, large area monolithic triple-junction, n on p, GaInP2/GaAs/Ge cells. The highest cell efficiency (cell size: 2 cm x 2 cm) measured to date is 25.7%, under 1 sun, AM0 illumination. A very uniform distribution of cell efficiency across a 3' diameter wafer is also achieved. The average efficiency of 164, 2cm x 2 cm triplejunction cells and 52 cell-interconnect-cover (CIC) assemblies are 22.6% and 21.9%, respectively. The results of temperature coefficient, 1 MeV electron irradiation and thermal cycle measurements (for CICs) are also reported.
