摘要 |
The present structure and method for fabrication thereof provides a photovoltaic cell structure for converting light energy into electrical energy. According to one embodiment, a pillared photovoltaic cell structure comprises an array of pillars that are situated closely to each other to take advantage of both the wave-like properties and the particle-like properties of light to enhance the energy conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic cell. According to one embodiment, a pillared photovoltaic cell structure incorporating self-aligned P/P+ junctions enable holes generated near the top surface of the cell structure to be captured by the self-aligned P/P+ junctions.
