“…A three-terminal (3T) version of the classical 2JSC is depicted in Figure 1b, also comprising two complete pn-junctions, typically with their corresponding passivating layers, and a contacting layer for the middle terminal. [7][8][9] In this work, we demonstrate a new, more compact device concept for the integration of two materials of different E G into one high-e ciency solar cell. This concept, illustrated in Figure 1c, consists of an npn (or pnp) structure and, due to the similarity to a transistor, is called heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell (HBTSC).…”

“…The idea of multi-junction cells was suggested [7] and investigated [8] in the early days of photovoltaic technology. Significant progress was triggered by AlGaAs/GaAs tandem cells with tunnel junctions [9] and metal interconnections [10][11][12]. At that moment, it was predicted that the power-conversion efficiency of multi-junction solar cells would reach close to 30% [13], but this was not fulfilled due to difficulties in stable tunnel junctions [14] and defects in the AlGaAs [15].…”
