The substrate is placed to receive the energized ions. The portion of the magnetic thin film is subjected to thermal excitation. The portions of the magnetic thin film are rendered to exhibit a magnetic property different than selective other portions. A method for patterning a magnetic media with a magnetic thin film on both sides of the media is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method of forming a solar cell incorporating a compound semiconductor is provided. The compound semiconductor is generally of the “II/VI” variety, and is formed by depositing one or more group II elements in a vapor deposition process, and then contacting the deposited layer with a liquid bath of the group VI elements. The liquid bath may comprise a pure element or a mixture of elements. The contacting is performed under a non-reactive atmosphere, or vacuum, and any fugitive vapors may be captured by a cold trap and recycled. The substrate may be subsequently annealed to remove any excess of the group VI elements, which may be similarly recycled.
