摘要:
Methods for forming Cu—In—Ga—N (CIGN) layers for use in TFPV solar panels are described using reactive PVD deposition in a nitrogen containing atmosphere. In some embodiments, the CIGN layers can be used as an absorber layer and eliminate the need of a selenization step. In some embodiments, the CIGN layers can be used as a protective layer to decrease the sensitivity of the CIG layer to oxygen or moisture before the selenization step. In some embodiments, the CIGN layers can be used as an adhesion layer to improve the adhesion between the back contact layer and the absorber layer.

Coated articles are disclosed. The coated articles include a doped or alloyed silver layer sandwiched between two layers of transparent conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO). The doped silver or silver alloy layer can be thin, such as between 1. 5 to 20 nm and thus can be transparent. The doped silver or silver alloy can provide improved ductility property, allowing the conductive stack to be bendable. The transparent conductive oxide layers can also be thin, allowing the conductive stack can have improved ductility property.

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for forming adjustable windows may include a substrate and a first conducting oxide layer formed over the substrate. The adjustable windows may further include a spectral tuning layer formed over the first conducting oxide layer and an ion conductor layer formed over the spectral tuning layer. The adjustable windows may also include an ion storage layer formed over the ion conductor layer and a second conducting oxide layer formed over the ion storage layer. In some embodiments, the spectral tuning layer may be configured to change an infrared transmissivity of the adjustable window. Furthermore, the spectral tuning layer may be configured to toggle a solar heat gain ratio coefficient of the adjustable window between two or more solar heat gain ratio coefficients.

Methods for HPC techniques are applied to the processing of site-isolated regions (SIR) on a substrate to form at least a portion of a TFT device used in display applications. The processing may be applied to at least one of gate electrode deposition, gate electrode patterning, gate dielectric deposition, gate dielectric patterning, metal-based semiconductor material (e.g. IGZO) deposition, metal-based semiconductor material (e.g. IGZO) patterning, etch stop deposition, etch stop patterning, source/drain deposition, source/drain patterning, passivation deposition, or passivation patterning. The SIRs may be defined during the deposition process with uniform deposition within each SIR or the SIRs may be defined subsequent to the deposition of layers wherein the layers are deposited with a gradient in one or more properties across the substrate.
摘要:
The electrical and optical performance of silver LED reflective contacts in III-V devices such as GaN LEDs is limited by silver's tendency to agglomerate during annealing processes and to corrode on contact with silver-reactive materials elsewhere in the device (for example, gallium or aluminum). Agglomeration and reaction are prevented, and crystalline morphology of the silver layer may be optimized, by forming a diffusion-resistant transparent conductive layer between the silver and the source of silver-reacting metal, (2) doping the silver or the diffusion-resistant transparent conductive layer for improved adhesion to adjacent layers, or (3) doping the silver with titanium, which in some embodiments prevents agglomeration and promotes crystallization of the silver in the preferred orientation.
