Abstract :
The combined effects of shunt and luminescence coupling on the measurement artifacts of external quantum efficiency (EQE) are modeled and analyzed for the top, middle and bottom subcells of multi-junction solar cells. The measurement artifacts of a Ge bottom cell caused by the combined effects are explained with the models.
