Abstract
Heterojunction solar cells of proper design have an advantage of producing minority carriers close to the junction when light penetrates through the wider band gap material and is absorbed close to the heterojunction and away from performance-deteriorating contacts. Such heterojunctions have the potential for higher conversion efficiencies.
