In this work, ultrathin GaAs solar cells are presented with a rough backscattering structure based on lattice mismatched gallium phosphide, grown with MOCVD. This way, a simple and reproducible light-trapping scheme is introduced with low parasitic absorption and full compatibility with hydrofluoric acid-based epitaxial lift-off. Solar cells with two different GaP surface morphologies are demonstrated and shown to be compatible with epitaxial lift-off without any complications or performance loss. An increase in short-circuit current density of up to 9% is observed, a direct result of the increased photon absorption induced by the scattering of the rough GaP texture.
