12 Optical Characterization Reflectance spectra (measured by an integrating sphere) Reflectiveity (%) SL-ARC SWS AM1.5D W a v e l e n g t h ( n m ) Irradiance (Wm -2 nm - 1 ) SWS shows a much flatter spectrum, particularly in UV and IR. Reflectance of SWS can be further improved by choosing a passivation material with a higher refractive index than SiNx, ~1.8. SWS designed to enhance the spectral response of the current limited junction ERATO Symposium, Tohoku Univ. Japan 2011/2/16 12/16

16 Summary We have successfully fabricated SiN x -based SWS for a Ga 0.5 In 0.5 P/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cell utilizing the polystyrene nanosphere lithography. PCE and Jsc of triple-junction solar cell were enhanced due to the absorption improvement of the GaAs mid-cell. The angular response of photocurrent nearly follows the cosine law and demonstrates the omnidirectionality of SWS. An RCWA approach enables the reflectance engineering for Jsc optimization of tandem cells with the SWS. ERATO Symposium, Tohoku Univ. Japan 2011/2/16 16/16
