Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Multi-junction solar cell have high efficiency with the combination of different cells. We developed new fabrication method, “Smart Stacking Technology”, which integrates Pd nanoparticles at the bonding interfaces. Using this technology, a GaAs/InP 4-junction solar cell with 31.6% efficiency and a GaAs/CuInGaSe 3-junction solar cell with 24.2% efficiency have been reported. In this paper, we focus on bonding resistance to gain knowledge of “Smart Stacking Technology” and examine the mechanism of reducing bonding resistance.
