  • Abstract
    Several different metal combinations and deposition schemes have been developed to produce III-V solar cells with good performance. As the production level increases, the contact methods must be continually assessed, to cope with production and user demands. A variety of contact methods have worked well with current GaAs cells, and can be adapted for advanced III-V cells as they move into production
