A photovoltaic device comprising: a plurality of photovoltaic cells, separated from each other; a support receiving the cells; and a light guide in contact with the cells and comprising a primary guide with a surface that is proximal to the cells, where the proximal surface is oriented towards the cells and the support. The photovoltaic device comprises, between the cells, areas located between the support and the primary guide which comprise a material with an index of refraction less than that of the proximal surface, where the material is in contact with the proximal surface.

Photovoltaic device and associated fabrication method

A method for fabricating a photosensitive device, comprising: a first step of preparing, on a substrate, at least a first photosensitive portion, active within a range of wavelengths, the first portion being surrounded by a second portion that is inactive. A material, covering the first portion, is selectively arranged into a hydrophilic layer by an electrochemical process. The second portion comprises a hydrophobic material on an upper surface opposite the substrate. The method further comprises the following steps: spraying on the upper surfaces of the first and second portions a liquid comprising a transparent material, and forming a converging lens containing the material, above the first portion.

Method for fabricating a photosensitive device

A photovoltaic component that includes at least one first array of photovoltaic nano-cells is disclosed. Each photovoltaic component includes an optical nano-antenna exhibiting an electromagnetic resonance in a first resonant spectral band, at least one lateral dimension of the optical nano-antenna being subwavelength in size, and a spectral conversion layer allowing at least part of the solar spectrum to be converted to said first resonant spectral band.
