Abstract: Methods and compositions for forming perovskite hole transport layers for use in manufacturing photovoltaic devices are described. Embodiments include using a plurality of hole transport materials to produce high-performance HTL contacts to improve performance and stability.

Abstract: Photovoltaic devices having contact layers are described herein. Devices, intermediate structures, and methods for making multilayer contacts for perovskite photovoltaic devices are provided. Embodiments include back contacts for N-I-P structures.

Abstract: Structures and methods for manufacturing photovoltaic devices by forming perovskite layers and perovskite precursor layers using vapor transport deposition (VTD) are described.

Abstract: Methods of processing substrates are described herein that include depositing a patterned polymer precursor layer by inkjet printing on a substrate comprising a dielectric material, curing the precursor layer to form a patterned polymer layer, and exposing the substrate, with the patterned polymer layer, to a remote plasma etch chemistry selective to the dielectric material. These methods can be performed on display substrates, particularly OLED and/or quantum dot display substrates.

Abstract: Methods for increasing the degree of curing and/or reducing the volatile photoinitiator concentration in cured polymeric film, and particularly in cured polymeric films in a multilayered thin film encapsulation stack are provided. Also provided are highly crosslinked and/or low-outgassing thin polymeric films and encapsulation stacks made using the methods.
