Computer analysis of heterojunction and graded bandgap solar cellsThe development and application of a graded bandgap solar cell computer analysis program is discussed. The basic device equations as used in the computer analysis are discussed and the techniques used to model material parameter variations are described. Finally, the results of the computer analysis of several Al(x)Ga(1-x)As and GaAs(1-x)P(x) solar cell structures are presented along with a discussion of the effects of interface states and various composition profiles on maximum solar cell efficiency.
