摘要:
Photovoltaic structures are provided with field-effect inversion/accumulation layers as emitter layers induced by work-function differences between gate conductor layers and substrates thereof. Localized contact regions are in electrical communication with the gate conductors of such structures for repelling minority carriers. Such localized contact regions may include doped crystalline or polycrystalline silicon regions between the gate conductor and silicon absorption layers. Fabrication of the structures can be conducted without alignment between metal contacts and the localized contact regions or high temperature processing.

A high resolution active matrix backplane is fabricated using techniques applicable to flexible substrates. A backplane layer including active semiconductor devices is formed on a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate. The backplane layer is spalled from the substrate. A frontplane layer including passive devices such as LCDs, OLEDs, photosensitive materials, or piezo-electric materials is formed over the backplane layer to form an active matrix structure. The active matrix structure may be fabricated to allow bottom emission and provide mechanical flexibility.

A field effect transistor (FET) has a channel hosted in Ge. The FET has silicon-germanium (SiGe) source and drain formed by selective epitaxy. The SiGe source and drain exert a tensile stress onto the Ge channel. During forming of the SiGe source and drain, an n-type dopant species and a compensating species are being incorporated into the SiGe source and drain. The n-type dopant species and the compensating species are so selected that the size of the SiGe atomic radius is inbetween the dopant atomic radius and the compensating species atomic radius.

Methods for forming a photovoltaic device include depositing a p-type layer on a substrate and cleaning the p-type layer by exposing a surface of the p-type layer to a plasma treatment to react with contaminants. An intrinsic layer is formed on the p-type layer, and an n-type layer is formed on the intrinsic layer.

A method for fabricating a photovoltaic device includes applying a diblock copolymer layer on a substrate and removing a first polymer material from the diblock copolymer layer to form a plurality of distributed pores. A pattern forming layer is deposited on a remaining surface of the diblock copolymer layer and in the pores in contact with the substrate. The diblock copolymer layer is lifted off and portions of the pattern forming layer are left in contact with the substrate. The substrate is etched using the pattern forming layer to protect portions of the substrate to form pillars in the substrate such that the pillars provide a radiation absorbing structure in the photovoltaic device.
摘要:
A method for fabricating field effect transistors patterns a strained silicon layer formed on a dielectric layer of a substrate into at least one NFET region including at least a first portion of the strained silicon layer. The strained silicon layer is further patterned into at least one PFET region including at least a second portion of the strained silicon layer. A masking layer is formed over the first portion of the strained silicon layer. After the masking layer has been formed, the second strained silicon layer is transformed into a relaxed silicon layer. The relaxed silicon layer is transformed into a strained silicon germanium layer.

A method for forming a photovoltaic device includes depositing one or more layers of a photovoltaic stack on a substrate by employing a high deposition rate plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (HDR PECVD) process. Contacts are formed on the photovoltaic stack to provide a photovoltaic cell. Annealing is performed on the photovoltaic cell at a temperature and duration configured to improve overall performance.

A photovoltaic device includes a substrate layer having a plurality of three-dimensional structures formed therein providing a textured profile. A first electrode is formed over the substrate layer and extends over the three-dimensional structures including non-planar surfaces. The first electrode has a thickness configured to maintain the textured profile, and the first electrode includes a transparent conductive material having a dopant metal activated within the transparent conductive material. A continuous photovoltaic stack is conformally formed over the first electrode, and a second electrode is formed on the photovoltaic stack.

A photoreceptor includes a multilayer blocking structure to reduce dark discharge of the surface voltage of the photoreceptor resulting from electron injection from an electrically conductive substrate. The multilayer blocking structure includes wide band gap semiconductor layers in alternating sequence with one or more narrow band gap blocking layers. A fabrication method of the photoreceptor includes transfer-doping of the narrow band gap blocking layers, which are deposited in alternating sequence with wide band gap semiconductor layers to form a blocking structure. Suppression of hole or electron injection can be obtained using the method.
