    Abstract: The current invention describes a process and texturing solution for texturing a crystalline silicon substrate to provide a light trapping surface within a crystalline silicon based solar cell. In an embodiment the texturing process includes a pre-treatment of hydrofluoric acid followed by the application of a texturing solution that includes potassium hydroxide (KOH) and butanol. The application of the texturing solution may be followed by a hydrofluoric acid post-treatment. A combinatorial method of optimizing the textured surface of a crystalline silicon substrate is also described.

In some embodiments, methods further include a pH adjuster for adjusting the ELESS pH to a range of approximately 9.0 pH to 9.2 pH. In some embodiments, the pH adjuster is tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). In some embodiments, the MML is hydrophilic.

    Abstract: Resistive switching memory elements are provided that may contain electroless metal electrodes and metal oxides formed from electroless metal. The resistive switching memory elements may exhibit bistability and may be used in high-density multi-layer memory integrated circuits. Electroless conductive materials such as nickel-based materials may be selectively deposited on a conductor on a silicon wafer or other suitable substrate. The electroless conductive materials can be oxidized to form a metal oxide for a resistive switching memory element. Multiple layers of conductive materials can be deposited each of which has a different oxidation rate. The differential oxidization rates of the conductive layers can be exploited to ensure that metal oxide layers of desired thicknesses are formed during fabrication.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for depositing a copper seed layer onto a substrate surface, generally onto a barrier layer that is an alloy of a group VIII metal and a refractory metal. In one aspect, the alloy consists of at least 50% ruthenium and the balance a copper diffusion barrier material. A copper layer is electroplated on the alloy directly. In one aspect, the surface of the barrier layer is conditioned prior to plating to improve adhesion and reduce the critical current density for plating on the barrier layer. The conditioning may include cathodic pre-treatment or a plasma pre-treatment in a hydrogen or hydrogen/helium mixture. In one aspect, the substrate surface is immersed in an acidic plating bath and a nucleation waveform is applied to form a seed layer. In another aspect, the substrate is immersed in a neutral or alkaline copper solution that includes complexed copper ions.

    Abstract: Methods and compositions for forming porous low refractive index coatings on substrates are provided. The method comprises coating a substrate with a sol-formulation comprising silica based nanoparticles and an alkyltrialkoxysilane based binder. Use of the alkyltrialkoxysilane based binder results in a porous low refractive index coating having bimodal pore distribution including mesopores formed from particle packing and micropores formed from the burning off of organics including the alkyl chain covalently bonded to the silicon. The mass ratio of binder to particles may vary from 0.1 to 20. Porous coatings formed according to the embodiments described herein demonstrate good optical properties (e.g. a low refractive index) while maintaining good mechanical durability due to the presence of a high amount of binder and a close pore structure.

    Abstract: A method for forming and protecting high quality bismuth oxide films comprises depositing a transparent thin film on a substrate comprising one of Si, alkali metals, or alkaline earth metals. The transparent thin film is stable at room temperature and at higher temperatures and serves as a diffusion barrier for the diffusion of impurities from the substrate into the bismuth oxide. Reactive sputtering, sputtering from a compound target, or reactive evaporation are used to deposit a bismuth oxide film above the diffusion barrier.
