摘要: A lost cost method for fabricating SOI substrates is provided. The method includes forming a stack of p-type doped amorphous Si-containing layers on a semiconductor region of a substrate by utilizing an evaporation deposition process. A solid phase recrystallization step is then performed to convert the amorphous Si-containing layers within the stack into a stack of p-type doped single crystalline Si-containing layers. After recrystallization, the single crystalline Si-containing layers are subjected to anodization and at least an oxidation step to form an SOI substrate. Solar cells and/or other semiconductor devices can be formed on the upper surface of the inventive SOI substrate.

摘要: A solar cell having n-type and p-type interdigitated back contacts (IBCs), which cover the entire back surface of the absorber layer. The spatial separation of the IBCs is in a direction perpendicular to the back surface, thus providing borderless contacts having a zero-footprint separation. As the contacts are on the back, photons incident on the cell's front surface can be absorbed without any shadowing.

摘要: This invention provides structures and a fabrication process for incorporating thin film transistors in back end of the line (BEOL) interconnect structures. The structures and fabrication processes described are compatible with processing requirements for the BEOL interconnect structures. The structures and fabrication processes utilize existing processing steps and materials already incorporated in interconnect wiring levels in order to reduce added cost associated with incorporating thin film transistors in the these levels. The structures enable vertical (3D) integration of multiple levels with improved manufacturability and reliability as compared to prior art methods of 3D integration.
