Abstract

A GaAs solar cell of area 2×4 cm2 was fabricated from a film grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on a 5.08-cm-diameter GaAs substrate. This is the largest device ever fabricated from MBE material. The cell demonstrated an efficiency of 21.7% under one-sun AM1.5 conditions at 25°C and 18.8% under one-sun AMO conditions at 28°C.
