Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a layer of a semiconductor material on at least a portion of a surface of a substrate, and forming along the surface a capillary structure, which is in communication with the semiconductor material but is at least partially empty of the semiconductor material. The semiconductor material is heated, so as to cause the semiconductor material to melt and flow into the capillary structure. Upon allowing the semiconductor material to cool, a crystal is seeded in the capillary structure and spreads from the capillary structure through an area of the semiconductor material.

Abstract:
A bridge connector (140) for connecting inductively coupled power receiver (120) to a chargeable device (130) such as a mobile phone enables adopting an inductively coupled power receiver to a variety of chargeable device types with minimal or no modifications to the power receiver or to the chargeable devices. The inductively coupled power receiver receives power from a contactless induction coupled charger (110). The bridge connector has two electrical connectors for mating with the power receivers output connector and the chargeable device charging connector respectively. An indicator (144) on the bridge connector indicates battery charge level and charging progress. A fastener (141) prevents loosing the bridge connector by attaching it to the contactless chargeable device.
