This work is focused on developing low cost high efficiency III-Sb TPVs on GaAs and Si substrates. This work utilizes our patented interfacial misfit (IMF) array technique to develop high quality epi layers on the low cost substrates also . Our systems are capable of developing binary, ternary as well as quaternary TPVs using IMF technique.
