Paper Abstract
Nano-enhanced solar cells incorporating III-V quantum wells or quantum dots have the potential to
revolutionize the performance of photovoltaic devices. Extended spectral response characteristics have
been widely demonstrated in both quantum well and quantum dot solar cells using a variety of different
III-V materials. To fully leverage the increased spectral response of nano-enhanced solar cells, new
device designs are discussed that can both maximize the current generating capability of the limited
volume of narrow band-gap material and minimize the unwanted carrier recombination that degrades the
voltage output.
