In most cases, sub-cells or sub-layers of multijunction solar cell are hetero-structure. On the other hand heterojunction is formed between different materials. Join ResearchGate to ask questions, get input, and advance your work. heterojunction is formed between different materials, while multijunction means more than one junction in a device.
Multijunction solar cell is comprised of two or more sub-cell/ (sublayer or p-n junction) of different bandgap semiconductor material. In most cases, sub-cells or sub-layers of multijunction solar cell are hetero-structure. On the other hand heterojunction is formed between different materials.
"Heterojunction" is a general term for any junction between two different materials - it can refer to transistors and other semiconductor junctions as well as solar cells. Tandem/multi-junction solar cells will necessarily include heterojunctions.
Tandem/multi-junction solar cells will necessarily include heterojunctions. Tandem solar cells are a special case of multi-junction solar cells, consisting of two different materials having considerably different band gaps (e.g., crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon).
Other cases of multi-junction cells are triple cells (e.g., Ge/InGaAs/InGaP) and quadruple cells (e.g., GaSb/InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaInP), where all materials have different band gap energies. Triple and quadruple cell types are typically used in concentrator photovoltaics.
Since multijunction solar cells are known to be sensitive to changes in the solar spectrum, e.g., [30,35–39], spectral variation throughout day and year should be taken into account when calculating the annual energy production of these solar cells.
