    摘要: Disclosed is an adamantine semiconductor. The semiconductor comprises a first element being from one of the following groups: VIII, VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, Ī or 0. The semiconductor also comprises at least two other elements, the at least two other elements being from group I, II, III, IV, V, VI and/or VII. The first element being from group VIII, VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, Ī or 0 includes an element not formally being from group VIII, VII, VI,V, IV, III,II, Ī or 0 but is known to assume the same oxidation state as the elements that do lie in these groups. The at least two other elements from group I, II, III, IV, V, VI and/or VII includes elements not formally being from group I, II, III, IV, V, VI and/or VII but are known to assume the same oxidation state as the elements that do lie in these groups.

    摘要: A method for forming a photovoltaic device comprising the steps of: providing a first conductive material on a substrate; depositing a continuous layer of a dielectric material less than 10 nm thick on the first conductive material; annealing the first conductive material and the layer of dielectric material; forming a chalcogenide light-absorbing material on the layer of dielectric material; and depositing a second material on the light-absorbing material such that the second material is electrically coupled to the light-absorbing material; wherein the first conductive material and the dielectric material are selected such that, during the step of annealing, a portion of the first conductive material undergoes a chemical reaction to form: a layer of a metal chalcogenide material at the interface between first conductive material and the dielectric material; and a plurality of openings in the layer of dielectric material; the openings being such to allow electrical coupling between the light-absorbing material and the layer of a metal chalcogenide material. Additionally contemplated is a photovoltaic device formed by this method.

    摘要: A method is presented for forming a Ge containing layer on a Si substrate. The method includes providing a crystalline Si substrate having a surface that has a crystallographic orientation, heating the Si substrate in a vacuum environment, exposing the Si substrate to a surfactant that is suitable for growth of the Ge containing layer on the crystalline Si using surfactant mediation, and thereafter growing the Ge containing layer on the surface of the heated Si substrate using a suitable sputtering technique. The conditions of the growth of the Ge containing layer are selected such that a thin Ge containing layer is formed on the surface of the Si substrate. The thin Ge containing layer has a surface that has crystallographic properties suitable for epitaxial growth of a layer of a further material on the surface of the thin Ge containing layer.
