    摘要: In one embodiment, a method of forming a photovoltaic device is provided which includes providing an absorption layer comprising a silicon-containing semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type and having a top surface and a bottom surface that opposes the top surface. A front contact is formed on the top surface of the absorption layer, and a back contact is formed on the bottom surface of the absorption layer. The forming of the front contact and the back contact can occur in any order. The back contact that is formed comprises at least one back contact semiconductor material layer of the first conductivity type and having a lower band-offset than that of hydrogenated amorphous silicon with crystalline Si and/or a higher activated doping of the first conductivity type than that of the doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer.

    摘要: A substrate for a semiconductor device is disclosed including, in one embodiment, a plurality of semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) wafers bonded to one another in a single stack. A distal end of the stack includes a first SOI region with a first semiconductor layer having a thickness and a first surface orientation. A surface of the single stack may further include a non-SOI region and/or at least one second SOI region. The non-SOI region may include bulk silicon that extends through all of the insulator layers of the single stack and has a thickness different than that of the first silicon layer. Each second SOI region has a second semiconductor layer having a thickness different than that of the first semiconductor layer and/or a different surface orientation than the first surface orientation. The substrate thus allows formation of different devices on optimal substrate regions that may include different surface orientations and/or different thicknesses and/or different bulk or SOI structures.

    摘要: A process for making a SOI region and a bulk region in a semiconductor device. The process includes providing a SOI structure. The SOI structure has a thin silicon layer, a buried insulating oxide layer underlying the thin silicon layer, and a silicon substrate underlying the buried insulating oxide layer. Next, a nitride layer is deposited on top of the SOI structure. The SOI structure is exposed by selectively etching portions of the nitride layer. The portion of the nitride layer which is not etched forms the SOI region. The silicon substrate is exposed by selectively etching the remaining portion of the exposed SOI structure. An epitaxial layer is grown on top of the exposed silicon substrate to form the bulk region. The nitride portion above the SOI structure is finally removed.

    摘要: 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.
