Abstract  Tandem cell with structure of indium tin oxide (ITO)/molybdenum oxide (MoO3)/fullerene (C60)/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/C60/tris-8-hydroxy-quinolinato aluminum (Alq3)/Al was fabricated to study the effect of net carriers at the interconnection layer. The open circuit voltage and short circuit current were found to be 1.15 V and 0.56 mA/cm2, respectively. Almost the same performance (1.05 V, 0.58 mA/cm2
Keywords:  tandem organic solar cells      interconnection layer      carrier balance      carrier-exciton interaction
