Abstract
Indium phosphide heterostructures and transparent conducting films of wide-gap oxides have previously been used in the development of highly efficient solar cells, making it possible to bring their efficiencies up to 18% [M. M. Koltun, Optics and Metrology of Solar Cells [in Russian], Nauka, Moscow (1985); V. M. Botnaryuk, L. S. Gagara, L. V. Gorchak et al., Geliotekhnika 23, 37 (1990); V. Botnariuc, L. Gagara, E. Negru et al., Solar Energy in Romania 2(1), 53 (1993)]. In the present paper results are reported from the first studies of the photoelectric properties, in linearly polarized light, of solar cells consisting of a heterojunction between single crystal indium phosphide and a mixed indium and tin oxide film (ITO film, E g ≅3.6 eV [G. Check and A. Genis, Solid State Techol. 23(1), 102 (1980)]).
