    Abstract: A PV module is formed having an array of PV cells, where the cells are separated by gaps. Each cell contains an array of small silicon sphere diodes (10-300 microns in diameter) connected in parallel. The diodes and conductor layers may be patterned by printing. A continuous metal substrate supports the diodes and conductor layers in all the cells. A dielectric substrate is laminated to the metal substrate. Trenches are then formed by laser ablation around the cells to sever the metal substrate to form electrically isolated PV cells. A metallization step is then performed to connect the cells in series to increase the voltage output of the PV module. An electrically isolated bypass diode for each cell is also formed by the trenching step. The metallization step connects the bypass diode and its associated cell in a reverse-parallel relationship.

    Abstract: Thin, flexible substrates have printed components or conductors on them forming planarized circuit layers. One or more of the circuits may be programmable, such as with a patterned printed conductive layer, so that one generic design may be used for many different types of functions. Instead of metal vias communicating vertically between the layers, the generic layers have one or more LEDs and photodiodes that generally face each other and communicate by light pulses. Near field communications may also be used for the vertical communications. This allows the separate layers to be combined in various ways, depending on the desired function of the overall product, without requiring the steps of forming holes, filling the holes with a metal, and then connecting the metal vias together, which may form unreliable connections when the layers are flexed. The input/output signals may also be by light or NFC.
