Aluminum gallium arsenide is used as a transparent, conducting contact layer on the exposed surface of a gallium arsenide photovoltaic cell. Increased conductivity for the high current generated when concentrated solar radiation strikes the cell, is provided by doping the AlGaAs layer with magnesium. During the formation of the layer, Mg diffuses into the gallium arsenide to form a p-type layer and a p-n junction.
