Abstract:
A photovoltaic cell manufacturing method is disclosed. Methods include manufacturing a photovoltaic cell having a selective emitter and buried contact (electrode) structure utilizing nanoimprint technology. The methods include providing a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; forming a first doped region in the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the first surface; performing a nanoimprint process and an etching process to form a trench in the semiconductor substrate, the trench extending into the semiconductor substrate from the first surface; forming a second doped region in the semiconductor substrate within the trench, the second doped region having a greater doping concentration than the first doped region; and filling the trench with a conductive material. The nanoimprint process uses a mold to define a location of an electrode line layout.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprising a first magnetic powder, a second magnetic powder and a conducting wire buried in the mixture of the first magnetic powder and the second magnetic powder is provided. The conducting wire comprises an insulating encapsulant and a conducting metal encapsulated by the insulating encapsulant. The Vicker's Hardness of the first magnetic powder is greater than the Vicker's Hardness of the second magnetic powder, and the mean particle diameter of the first magnetic powder is larger than the mean particle diameter of the second magnetic powder. By means of the hardness difference of the first magnetic powder and the second magnetic powder, the mixture of the first magnetic powder and the second magnetic powder and the conducting wire buried therein are combined to form an integral magnetic body at the temperature lower than the melting point of the insulating encapsulant.

Structure of mask blanks and masks, and methods of making masks are disclosed. The new mask blank and mask comprise a tripe etching stop layer to prevent damages to the quartz substrate when the process goes through etching steps three times. The triple etching stop layer may comprise a first sub-layer of tantalum containing nitrogen (TaN), a second sub-layer of tantalum containing oxygen (TaO), and a third sub-layer of TaN. Alternatively, the triple etching stop layer may comprise a first sub-layer of SiON material, a second sub-layer of TaO material, and a third sub-layer of SiON material. Another alternative may be one layer of low etching rate MoxSiyONz material which can prevent damages to the quartz substrate when the process goes through etching steps three times. The island mask is defined on the mask blank by using various optical proximity correction rules.

Abstract:
A method for fabricating a Finfet device with body contacts and a device fabricated using the method are provided. In one example, a silicon-on-insulator substrate is provided. A T-shaped active region is defined in the silicon layer of the silicon-on-insulator substrate. A source region and a drain region form two ends of a cross bar of the T-shaped active region and a body contact region forms a leg of the T-shaped active region. A gate oxide layer is grown on the active region. A polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the gate oxide layer and patterned to form a gate, where an end of the gate partially overlies the body contact region to complete formation of a Finfet device with body contact.
