摘要： A method which is intended to facilitate and/or simplify the process of fabricating interlayer vias by selective modification of the FEOL film stack on a transfer wafer is provided. Specifically, the present invention provides a method in which two dimensional devices are prepared for subsequent integration in a third dimension at the transition between normal FEOL processes by using an existing interlayer contact mask to define regions in which layers of undesirable dielectrics and metal are selectively removed and refilled with a middle-of-the-line (MOL) compatible dielectric film. As presented, the inventive method is compatible with standard FEOL/MOL integration schemes, and it guarantees a homogeneous dielectric film stack specifically in areas where interlayer contacts are to be formed, thus allowing the option of a straightforward integration path, if desired.

摘要： A dual transparent conductive material layer is provided between a p-doped semiconductor layer and a substrate layer of a photovoltaic device. The dual transparent conductive material layer includes a first transparent conductive material and a second transparent conductive material wherein the second transparent conductive material is nano-structured. The nano-structured second transparent conductive material acts as a protective layer for the underlying first transparent conductive material. The nano-structured transparent conductive material provides a benefit of a higher Eg of the underlying first transparent conductive material surface and a very high resilience to hydrogen plasma from the nano-structures during the formation of the p-doped semiconductor layer.
