摘要: An alloy composition for a subcell of solar cell is provided that has bandgap at least 0.9 eV, namely, Ga1-xInxNyAs1-y-zSbz with low antimony (Sb) content and enhanced indium (In) nitrogen (N) content, achieving substantial lattice matching to GaAs Ge substrates providing both high short circuit currents open voltages in GaInNAsSb subcells multijunction cells. The ranges are 0.07≦x≦0.18, 0.025≦y≦0.04 0.001≦z≦0.03.
