Abstract
Disclosed are a relatively high-efficiency solar cell and a method for fabricating the same using a micro-heater array. The solar cell may include first and second micro-heaters intersecting each other or being parallel to each other on a substrate, and a plurality of InGaN p-n junction layers formed using the first and second micro-heaters. The solar cell has improved efficiency because sunlight with various wavelengths may be effectively absorbed by the plurality of InGaN p-n junction layers. Furthermore, relatively large-sized solar cells may be fabricated, because the plurality of InGaN p-n junction layers may be formed on a glass substrate using a micro-heater array.
