Abstract
A stacked III-V multi-junction solar cell with a top and a bottom. A metallic top contact area is formed at the top and has a first layer of metal, a flat metallic bottom contact area formed on the bottom. An opening extends continuously from the top to the bottom and has an upper edge area formed at the top and a lower edge area formed at the bottom. The upper edge area is adjacent to the top contact area and the side wall and the two edge areas are covered with a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer has a top and a bottom. A first metallic top layer is formed on a surface of the first metal layer and on the top of the dielectric layer and a second metallic top layer is formed on a part of the first metal layer adjacent to the upper edge area.
