Multijunction solar cells based on III-V compounds are one of the most effective possibilities to achieve high efficiencies for space and terrestrial applications. In this work, AlInAs:C/InP:S tunnel junctions are fabricated using MOVPE. Type-II interface band alignment of AlInAs/InP heterostructure is ideal for increasing the photogenerated carriers tunneling. Furthermore, wide bandgaps ensure a high transmission of the incident light. The J-V characteristics of the final devices show very good results in terms of tunneling peak current density (1000 A cm À2 ) and specific resistance at low applied bias, making them compatible for photovoltaic applications.The authors declare no conflict of interest.
