ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor photovoltaic generator is proposed which comprises a plurality of photovoltaic converters interconnected in series along their opposite surfaces by current-collecting contacts to form a monolithic structure. Every photovoltaic converter is provided with a p-n junction between the base and inverse regions. The photo-active face of the generator is made as a staircase-type structure. The area of every step is inversely proportional to the intensity of incident radiation and the width of the step is about equal to, or smaller than, the diffusion distance of minority carriers in the base region.
