  • SPUTTERING TARGET AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING IT
    Publication number: 20160254128
    Abstract: A sputtering target is composed of an Mo alloy containing at least one metal of group 5 of the Periodic Table, where the average content of group 5 metal is from 5 to 15 at % and the Mo content is ?80 at %. The sputtering target has an average C/O ratio in (at %/at %) of ?1. The sputtering targets can be produced by shaping or forming and have an improved sputtering behavior.

  • Touch sensor configuration
    Patent number: 8405629
    Abstract: A touch sensor configuration contains an optically transparent substrate, at least one optically transparent touch sensor element formed on the substrate and has at least one electrically conductive, transparent layer, and at least one contacting structure for the electrical contacting of the electrically conductive, transparent layer. The contacting structure has in direct contact with the electrically conductive, transparent layer at least one layer of MoxTay with 0.02?y?0.15.

  • THIN-FILM SOLAR CELL HAVING A MOLYBDENUM-CONTAINING BACK ELECTRODE LAYER
    Publication number: 20100269907
    Abstract: A thin-film solar cell has a rear electrode layer formed of at least 50 atom % of Mo, which in addition to the common contaminants includes 0.1 to 45 atom % of at least one element from the group of Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, and W, 0 to 7.5 atom % of Na, and 0 to 7.5 atom % of at least one element forming a compound with Na that has a melting point >500 C. The rear electrode layer has good long-term resistance and bonding with the CIGS absorber layer. In addition, the constancy of the alkali metal integration in the absorber layer is improved.
