Abstract

A method of forming an electrical device that includes epitaxially growing a first conductivity type semiconductor material of a type III-V semiconductor on a semiconductor substrate. The first conductivity type semiconductor material continuously extending along an entirety of the semiconductor substrate in a plurality of triangular shaped islands; and conformally forming a layer of type III-V semiconductor material having a second conductivity type on the plurality of triangular shaped islands to provide a textured surface of a photovoltaic device. A light emitting diode is formed on the textured surface of the photovoltaic device.
