Sharp Corporation has recently released a new compounds, three-junction solar cells, its conversion efficiency reached 35.8%, is currently the highest standards of solar cells. With conventional silicon cells too can be a different, complex solar cells with two or more from indium, gallium and other elements consisting of light absorption layer. Because of this high cell conversion efficiency, it is often used in the manufacture of space satellites. Since 2000, Sharp has been committed to three junction solar cell research compounds to achieve through three light absorption layer to achieve higher conversion efficiency technology.

In order to improve the three-junction compound cell conversion efficiency, it is important in every light absorption layer (front, middle and bottom) to strengthen the regularity of atomic arrangement, so as to achieve efficient utilization of solar energy purposes.
