Abstract
Virtual substrates based on thin Ge layers on Si by direct deposition have achieved high quality recently. Their application to high efficiency III-V solar cells is analyzed in this work. Replacing traditional Ge substrates with Ge/Si virtual substrates in standard lattice-matched and upright metamorphic GaInP/Ga(In)As/Ge solar cells is feasible according to our calculations using realistic parameters of state-of-the-art Ge solar cells but with thin bases (< 5µm)
