Abstract
By the method of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition we have epitaxially grown effective samples of InAs/p-GaSb/n-GaSb/n-GaAs/In x Ga1−x As/Ge/Si(113) photovoltaic cells and investigated their photoelectric properties. The suitability of application of quality heterojunction diode structures in termophotovoltaic cells is experimentally proved.
