We have investigated the performance of 10-layer stacked GaSb/GaAs quantum dot (QD) and quantum ring (QR) solar cells (SCs) having a type-II band alignment. For both SCs, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) increased in the longer wavelength region beyond GaAs bandedge wavelength of λ > 870 nm due to an additive contribution from GaSb/GaAs QD or QR layers inserted in the intrinsic region of p-i-n SC structure. The EQE of GaSb/GaAs QRSC was higher than that of QDSC at room temperature and the photoluminescence intensity from GaSb/GaAs QRs was stronger compared with GaSb/GaAs QDs. These results indicate that crystal quality of GaSb/GaAs QRs is superior to that of GaSb/GaAs QDs. Furthermore, a photocurrent production due to two-step photo-absorption via GaSb/GaAs QD states or QR states, ΔEQE was measured at low temperature and the ratio of two-step absorption to total carrier extraction defined as ΔEQE / (ΔEQE + EQE), was higher for GaSb/GaAs QRSC than that of QDSC. The ratio of GaSb/GaAs QRSC exceeds 80% over the wavelength region of λ = 950 - 1250 nm. This suggests that two-step absorption process is more dominant for carrier extraction from GaSb/GaAs QR structure
