Radiation study in quantum well III-V multi-junction solar cells

Gonz$'a$lez, M.*; Hoheisel, R.*; Lumb, M.*; Scheiman, D.*; Bailey, C. G.*; Lorentzen, J.*; Maximenko, S.*; Messenger, S. R.*; Jenkins, P. P.*; Tibbits, T. N. D.*; Imaizumi, Mitsuru*; Oshima, Takeshi; Sato, Shinichiro; Walters, R. J.*

The radiation response of multi quantum wall (MQW) triple junction and component cells was analyzed. Initial results show that for 1MeV electron irradiation the middle MQW cell governs the degradation of the triple junction. This is attributed the specific middle cell design, in particular the thick 0.98 $$mu$$m depletion region, and alternative, more radiation hard, designs are presented. Additionally, characterization studies, including dark IV, external quantum efficiency, electroluminescence, as well as defect characterization were investigated.
