Abstract

The effectiveness of solar impurity thermovoltaic elements based on semiconductors with forbidden gap width 0.3 eV with thin highly doped p- and n-layers with concentration ∼5 × 1019 cm−3, containing in addition a deep impurity with concentration ∼4 × 1018 cm−3 and ionization energy 0.15 eV, is shown to reach 30–40% with solar radiation intensity 0.1 W/cm2.
