    Abstract: A surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) apparatus employs a nanorod in an indentation in a surface of a substrate. The SERS apparatus includes the nanorod having a tip at a free end opposite to an end of the nanorod that is supported by the substrate indentation. The indentation has a tapered profile and supports the nanorod at a bottom of the indentation. The free end of the nanorod extends away from the indentation bottom. The SERS apparatus further includes a Raman-active material at a surface of one or both of the nanorod and the indentation. The indentation and the nanorod facilitate one or both of production and detection of a Raman scattering signal emitted by an analyte in a vicinity of the nanorod and indentation.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of forming an electrical connection on a device. In one embodiment, the electrical connection is attached to the device via an adhesive having electrically conductive particles disposed therein. In one embodiment, the adhesive is cured while applying pressure such that the conductive particles align, have a reduced particle-to-particle spacing, or come into contact with each other to provide a more directly conductive (less resistive) path between the electrical connection and the device. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for forming an electrical lead on a partially formed solar cell during formation of the solar cell device is provided. The method comprises placing a side-buss wire onto a pattern of electrically conductive adhesive disposed on a back contact layer of a solar cell device substrate, laminating the side-buss wire and electrically conductive adhesive between the solar cell device substrate and a back glass substrate to form a composite solar cell structure, and curing the electrically conductive adhesive while applying pressure and heat to the composite solar cell structure.
