  • Method of manufacturing lightweight, high efficiency photovoltaic module
    Patent number: 6468828
    Abstract: A photovoltaic device includes a transparent, electrically conductive top electrode which functions as an anti-reflective layer. The thickness of this layer is selected to establish a three-quarter &lgr; anti-reflective condition. Use of this layer allows for the manufacture of a gridless photovoltaic device having an enhanced overall efficiency.

  • Method and apparatus for the fabrication of lightweight semiconductor devices
    Patent number: 6136141
    Abstract: Lightweight semiconductor devices are fabricated upon a relatively thin substrate member by a process wherein the substrate is first bonded to a relatively thick support member. The semiconductor device is then formed on the bonded substrate, and the substrate is subsequently removed from the support member by utilizing a beam of radiant energy to skive the substrate from the support member without damage to the semiconductor device. Also disclosed herein is a system for implementing the invention.
