Results are presented on the characterization and testing of lattice-mismatched 0.55 eV InGaAs/InP thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells. A robust cell fabrication technique amenable to high throughput production is presented. A versatile light and dark I-V set up capable of fast screening of the TPV cells and an innovative approach for screening high performance cells are presented. We also report on the effect of lattice-matched InAsP and InAlAs back surface field layers on the performance of the TPV cells. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
