  • Publication number: 20140090687
    Abstract: Improved building-integrated photovoltaic systems according to certain example embodiments may include concentrated photovoltaic skylights or other windows having a cylindrical lens array. The skylight may include an insulated glass unit, which may improve the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The photovoltaic skylight and lens arrays may be used in combination with strip solar cells. Arrangements that involve lateral displacement tracking systems, or static systems (e.g., that are fixed at one, two, or more predefined positions) are contemplated herein. Such techniques may advantageously help to reduce cost per watt related, in part, to the potentially reduced amount of semiconductor material to be used for such example embodiments. A photovoltaic skylight may permit diffuse daylight to pass through into an interior of a building so as to provide lighting inside the building, while the strip solar cells absorb the direct sunlight and convert it to electricity, providing for SHGC tuning.

  • Patent number: 7160745
    Abstract: A method for forming a metal-insulator-metal device includes imprinting at least one first layer to form a first impression, removing a portion of at least one second layer through the first depression to form a recess in the at least one second layer bordered by a first side, a first overhang along the first side, a second opposite side and a second overhang along the second side. The method also includes depositing a first metal in the recess spaced from the first side and the second side and oxidizing the first metal to create a non-linear dielectric.

  • Patent number: 7042057
    Abstract: A process is described for fabricating an active addressing component such as a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) device by creating surface relief levels to form trenches, and depositing a metal in the trenches. The metal is anodized to create a non-linear dielectric. A second metal is deposited in the trenches to create an electrical with the dielectric which a contact is provided, and transferring the MIM device to a substrate by adhesive transfer.

  • Publication number: 20060091496
    Abstract: A metal-insulator-metal device includes a layer having a major dimensional surface. The layer has a first portion having a first boundary, a second metal portion having a second boundary facing the first boundary in a direction parallel to the surface and a non-linear dielectric between the first boundary and the second boundary and having a thickness orthogonal to the surface.
