Abstract
A multilayer system of ohmic contacts for GaAs/AlGaAs photovoltaic converters has been developed. A method of ohmic contact blackening is suggested with the aim of improving the coefficient of optical signal reflection from an Ag/Au/Ag multilayer contact. Owing to blackening, the reflection coefficient has been decreased more than tenfold.
