Abstract
We propose a metal/silicon junction solar cell that utilizes the hot carrier effect to harvest solar spectrum with wavelength above 1.1 μm that single crystal silicon solar cells cannot absorb. With the inverted pyramid structure, the metal/silicon junction solar cell achieved a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 5.11% for the wavelengths over 1.1μm.
