Abstract:
A solar panel apparatus and method. The apparatus has an optically transparent member comprising a predetermined thickness and an aperture surface region. The apparatus has a solar cell coupled to a portion of the optically transparent member. In a specific embodiment, the solar cell includes a transparent polymeric member and a plurality of photovoltaic regions provided within a portion of the transparent polymeric member. In a specific embodiment, the plurality of photovoltaic regions occupies at least about 10 percent of the aperture surface region of the transparent polymeric member and less than about 80% of the aperture surface region of the transparent polymeric member.
Abstract:
When integrated circuit dice are tested as part of a completely manufactured wafer, the individual die is tested both for proper function and for speed grade. A wafer map is formed in a computer to keep up with which dice on the wafer are good and to record the speed grade of each good die. This wafer map is then used during the step of dicing and packaging the wafer to fill existing orders by placing a die that meets a speed grade of an order into the package that has been ordered. More than one kind of order can be filled from dice in a single wafer. The method allows integrated circuit devices to be packaged to order and eliminates the need to keep an inventory of packaged dice.
