Abstract:
The present invention provides a non-vacuum method of depositing a photovoltaic absorber layer based on electrophoretic deposition of a mixture of nanoparticles with a controlled atomic ratio between the elements. The nanoparticles are first dispersed in a liquid medium to form a colloidal suspension and then electrophoretically deposited onto a substrate to form a thin film photovoltaic absorber layer. The absorber layer may be subjected to optional post-deposition treatments for photovoltaic absorption.

Abstract:
A p-type semiconductor zinc oxide (ZnO) film and a process for preparing the film are disclosed. The film is co-doped with phosphorous (P) and lithium (Li). A pulsed laser deposition scheme is described for use in growing the film. Further described is a process of pulsed laser deposition using transparent substrates which includes a pulsed laser source, a substrate that is transparent at the wavelength of the pulsed laser, and a multi-target system. The optical path of the pulsed laser is arranged in such a way that the pulsed laser is incident from the back of the substrate, passes through the substrate, and then focuses on the target. By translating the substrate towards the target, this geometric arrangement enables deposition of small features utilizing the root of the ablation plume, which can exist in a one-dimensional transition stage along the target surface normal, before the angular width of the plume is broadened by three-dimensional adiabatic expansion. This can provide small deposition feature sizes, which can be similar in size to the laser focal spot, and provides a novel method for direct deposition of patterned materials.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed that relate to scheduling the processing of I/O requests in a cache for a plurality of logical devices associated with the cache. An exemplary method includes identifying a minimum target number of write destages to be performed with respect to a logical device per unit time. In identifying the minimum target number, factors such as a write pending count and an average queue length of writes pending may be considered. The method further includes enforcing the target minimum number of write destages. A disclosed method of enforcing the target includes tracking the number of write destages performed on the logical device and increasing a priority for a write request to the logical device when the minimum target number of write destages is not met.
