“…There are also examples of microsystem techniques being used in III-V solar cells and systems. Semprius is working to commercialize technologies developed at the University of Illinois for release and placement of very small and thin multijunction III-V ECS Transactions, 50 (6) 351-359 (2012) cells into a concentrated PV system (11). These cells are very thin (~10 µm and are less than 750 µm across.…”

Advanced Compound Semiconductor and Silicon Fabrication Techniques for Next-Generation Solar Power Systems

Microsystem technologies have the potential to significantly improve the performance, reduce the cost, and extend the capabilities of solar power systems. These benefits are possible due to a number of significant beneficial scaling effects within solar cells, modules, and systems that are manifested as the size of solar cells decrease to the sub-millimeter range. To exploit these benefits, we are using advanced fabrication techniques to create solar cells from a variety of compound semiconductors and silicon that have lateral dimensions of 250 - 1000 µm and are 1 - 20 µm thick. These fabrication techniques come out of relatively mature microsystem technologies such as integrated circuits (IC) and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) which provide added supply chain and scale-up benefits compared to even incumbent PV technologies.
