A novel bonding approach with an interface consisting of a metal and dielectric is developed, and a “pillar-array ” metal topology is proposed for minimal optical and electrical loss at the interface. This enables a fully lattice-matched two-terminal, four-junction device that consists of an inverted top two-junction (2J) cell with 1.85 eV GaInP/1.42 eV GaAs, and an upright lower 2J cell with ~1 eV GaInAsP/0.74 eV GaInAs aimed for concentrator applications. The fabrication pro-cess and simulation of the metal topology are discussed along with the results of GaAs/GaInAs 2J and (GaInP +GaAs)/ GaInAs three-junction bonded cells. Bonding-related issues are also addressed along with optical coupling across the bondin
