Abstract

An environmental interface for a semiconductor electro-optical conversion device layer that is optically transparent, electrically conductive and chemically passivating, made of an elemental semiconductor with an indirect band gap>1 electron volt in a layer between 20 and 200 Angstroms thick. A GaAs covered by GaAlAs converter with a 100 Angstrom Si layer over the GaAlAs is illustrated.
