摘要: An optoelectronic device that includes a germanium containing buffer layer atop a silicon containing substrate, and a first distributed Bragg reflector stack of III-V semiconductor material layers on the buffer layer. The optoelectronic device further includes an active layer of III-V semiconductor material present on the first distributed Bragg reflector stack, wherein a difference in lattice dimension between the active layer and the first distributed brag reflector stack induces a strain in the active layer. A second distributed Bragg reflector stack of III-V semiconductor material layers having a may be present on the active layer.

摘要: A photovoltaic device and method include forming a plurality of pillar structures in a substrate, forming a first electrode layer on the pillar structures and forming a continuous photovoltaic stack including an N-type layer, a P-type layer and an intrinsic layer on the first electrode. A second electrode layer is deposited over the photovoltaic stack such that gaps or fissures occur in the second electrode layer between the pillar structures. The second electrode layer is wet etched to open up the gaps or fissures and reduce the second electrode layer to form a three-dimensional electrode of substantially uniform thickness over the photovoltaic stack.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes an extremely thin semiconductor-on-insulator substrate (ETSOI) having a base substrate, a thin semiconductor layer and a buried dielectric therebetween. A device channel is formed in the thin semiconductor layer. Source and drain regions are formed at opposing positions relative to the device channel. The source and drain regions include an n-type material deposited on the buried dielectric within a thickness of the thin semiconductor layer. A gate structure is formed over the device channel.

摘要: A device and method for fabricating a photovoltaic device includes forming a double layer transparent conductive oxide on a transparent substrate. The double layer transparent conductive oxide includes forming a doped electrode layer on the substrate, and forming a buffer layer on the doped electrode layer. The buffer layer includes an undoped or p-type doped intrinsic form of a same material as the doped electrode layer. A light-absorbing semiconductor structure includes a p-type semiconductor layer on the buffer layer, an intrinsic layer and an n-type semiconductor layer.

摘要: A solar cell having n-type and p-type interdigitated back contacts (IBCs), which cover the entire back surface of the absorber layer. The spatial separation of the IBCs is in a direction perpendicular to the back surface, thus providing borderless contacts having a zero-footprint separation. As the contacts are on the back, photons incident on the cell's front surface can be absorbed without any shadowing.

摘要: A layer of amorphous silicon is formed on a germanium-on-insulator substrate, or a layer of germanium is formed on a silicon-on-insulator substrate. An anneal is then performed which causes thermal mixing of silicon and germanium atoms within one of the aforementioned structures and subsequent formation of a silicon germanium-on-insulator material.

摘要: A method for forming a heteroepitaxial layer includes forming an epitaxial grown layer on a monocrystalline substrate and patterning the epitaxial grown layer to form fins. The fins are converted to porous fins. A surface of the porous fins is treated to make the surface suitable for epitaxial growth. Lattice mismatch is compensated for between an epitaxially grown monocrystalline layer grown on the surface and the monocrystalline substrate by relaxing the epitaxially grown monocrystalline layer using the porous fins to form a relaxed heteroepitaxial interface with the monocrystalline substrate.
