摘要
In this study, single-junction InGaP solar cells fabricated by a novel micro-hole array surface texture process are presented. The characteristics of the single-junction InGaP solar cells with and without the micro-hole array surface texture are studied. An increase of 10.4% in short-circuit current is found when a single-junction InGaP solar cell is fabricated by the micro-hole array surface texture process. The conversion efficiency measured under one-sun air mass 1.5 global illumination at room temperature can also be improved from 13.8% to 15.9% when the size of the micro-holes is 5.3 mu m and the period of micro-hole array is designed to 5 mu m.
