Abstract
Silicon-Germanium quantum wells were grown in p-i-n layers using a recently developed epitaxial technique. Nanostructural characterization (TEM, XPS, photoluminescence) indicates low-dislocation density, high quality films. Solar cells made of these layers have low leakage current. ©2010 IEEE.
