    Abstract: A method of forming a strained-silicon-on-insulator substrate is disclosed. A target wafer includes an insulator layer on a substrate. A donor wafer includes a bulk semiconductor substrate having a lattice constant different from a lattice constant of silicon and a strained silicon layer formed on the bulk semiconductor substrate. The top surface of the donor wafer is bonded to the top surface of the target wafer. The strained silicon layer is then separated from the donor wafer so that the strained silicon layer adheres to the target wafer. The bond between the strained silicon layer and the target wafer can then be strengthened.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first epitaxial layer, a second epitaxial layer, a third epitaxial layer, a first trench, and a second trench. The first epitaxial layer is formed on the substrate. The first layer has lattice mismatch relative to the substrate. The second epitaxial layer is formed on the first layer, and the second layer has lattice mismatch relative to the first layer. The third epitaxial layer is formed on the second layer, and the third layer has lattice mismatch relative to the second layer. Hence, the third layer may be strained silicon. The first trench extends through the first layer. The second trench extends through the third layer and at least partially through the second layer. At least part of the second trench is aligned with at least part of the first trench, and the second trench is at least partially filled with an insulating material.

    Abstract: A thin film solar cell and process for forming the same. The solar cell includes a bottom electrode, semiconductor light absorbing layer, and top electrode. Interconnects may be formed between the top and bottom electrodes by electrochemical plating of conductive materials in recessed regions formed between the electrodes. In some embodiments, the conductive materials may be optically opaque metals having non-light transmissive properties. The interconnects are highly conductive and minimize the thickness of the top electrode layer, thereby enhancing light transmission and cell energy conversion performance.
