Abstract
A solar cell includes a substrate; multiple silicon rods formed on a surface of the substrate; an insulator layer formed on the surface of the substrate while the silicon rods are still exposed; a silicon shell layer formed on outside of each of the silicon rods; and a InxGa1−xAsyP1−y layer formed on the silicon shell layer to form a first cell, wherein 0≦x≦1 and 0≦y≦1.
