A device having a plurality of thin film photovoltaic cells (PV) formed over a passivation layer. The device comprises a plurality of thin film photovoltaic (PV) cells formed over the passivation layer, each PV cell includes at least a lower conducting layer (LCL) and an upper conducting layer (UCL); and a conducting path connecting at least a UCL of a first PV cell to at least a LCL of a second PV cell, wherein at least a first array of PV cells comprised of at least a first portion of the plurality of PV cells is connected by the respective UCL and LCL of each PV cell to provide a first voltage output. In an embodiment the passivation layer is formed over a target integrated circuit (TIC), the TIC having a top surface and a bottom surface.
