The principal objective of research conducted under this contract during the past twelve months has been the development and fabrication of two junction cascade solar cells in two different III-V semiconductor materials systems: AlGaAs/GaAs and AlGaAsSb/GaAsSb. Liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) has been successfully used to fabricate experimental cascade cells in both of these materials systems. Additional research has been carried out using organometallic/chemical vapor deposition (OM/CVD) growth technology.
