ABSTRACT:
A high voltage multijunction solar cell is provided wherein a plurality of discrete voltage generating regions or unit cells are formed in a single generally planar semiconductor body (12). The unit cells comprise a doped regions (20, 22) of opposite conductivity type separated by a gap or undiffused region (24). Metal contacts (26) connect adjacent cells together in series so that the output voltages of the individual cells are additive. In some embodiments, doped field regions (14) separated by gap (16) overlie the unit cells but the cells may be formed in both faces of the wafer (FIG. 2).
