Flexible and Thin-film GaAs photovoltaics

   We demonstrated the feasibility and generality of this process by applying it to optoelectronic devices including photovoltaic cells, LEDs, MESFETs and photodetectors on two compound semiconductor systems, InP and GaAs. The demonstration of cost-efficient and high-performance compound semiconductor-based flexible thin-film optoelectronics is a critical step toward allowing their widespread deployment in mainstream state-of-the-art applications including wearable, flexible and conformal devices.
