Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

c-Si – GaAs Hybrid

Course subject(s) Module 8. Comparing & Combining Technologies

III-V based multijunction devices achieve the highest conversion efficiencies of all available PV technologies, but they require very expensive materials and processing techniques. Therefore researchers are exploring a hybrid device, where a cheaper c-Si bottom cell is combined with a III-V based top cell. In this video you will learn about the device architecture, potential and state of the art c-Si – III-V hybrid devices.

Sorry but there don't seem to be any downloads..
