Abstract(in English) We have proposed the solar cell system composing III-V nitride film with wider band gap. III-V nitride solar cell is mechanically stacked with transparent glue on conventional InGaP solar cell, and photovoltaic power is independently obtained through 4 terminals, which would increase conversion efficiency. Current matching, which is crucial in tandem-type solar cell, is not taken into account in this structure. Defects in InGaN film with thickness of 0.3μm for applying to solar cell were characterized by using deep level optical spectroscopy. Ga vacancy and/or its complex with oxygen impurities must be enhanced by alloying InN to GaN. Conversion efficiency of p-i-n III-V nitride solar cell was improved by inserting AlN layer with ~2nm of thickness grown at 800℃ at the interface between p- and i-layers. Dislocation and point defects must be terminated by the AlN thin layer, which could improve the structure at p-i interface.
