    Abstract: A method for forming a single-junction photovoltaic cell includes forming a dopant layer on a surface of a semiconductor substrate; diffusing the dopant layer into the semiconductor substrate to form a doped layer of the semiconductor substrate; forming a metal layer over the doped layer, wherein a tensile stress in the metal layer is configured to cause a fracture in the semiconductor substrate; removing a semiconductor layer from the semiconductor substrate at the fracture; and forming the single-junction photovoltaic cell using the semiconductor layer. A single-junction photovoltaic cell includes a doped layer comprising a dopant diffused into a semiconductor substrate; a patterned conducting layer formed on the doped layer; a semiconductor layer comprising the semiconductor substrate located on the doped layer on a surface of the doped layer opposite the patterned conducting layer; and an ohmic contact layer formed on the semiconductor layer.

    Abstract: A dual gate extremely thin semiconductor-on-insulator transistor with asymmetric gate dielectrics is provided. This structure can improve the sensor detection limit and also relieve the drift effects. Detection is performed at a constant current mode while the species will be detected at a gate electrode with a thin equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) and the gate bias will be applied to the second gate electrode with thicker EOT to maintain current flow through the transistor. As a result, a small change in the charge on the first electrode with the thin EOT will be translated into a larger voltage on the gate electrode with the thick EOT to sustain the current flow through the transistor. This allows a reduction of the sensor dimension and therefore an increase in the array size. The dual gate structure further includes cavities, i.e., microwell arrays, for chemical sensing.

    Abstract: A stressor layer used in a controlled spalling method is removed through the use of a cleave layer that can be fractured or dissolved. The cleave layer is formed between a host semiconductor substrate and the metal stressor layer. A controlled spalling process separates a relatively thin residual host substrate layer from the host substrate. Following attachment of a handle substrate to the residual substrate layer or other layers subsequently formed thereon, the cleave layer is dissolved or otherwise compromised to facilitate removal of the stressor layer. Such removal allows the fabrication of a bifacial solar cell.

    Abstract: A method to minimize edge-related substrate breakage during spalling using an edge-exclusion region (14) where the stressor layer (16) is either non-present (excluded either during deposition or removed afterwards) or present but significantly non-adhered to the substrate surface in the exclusion region is provided. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method includes forming an edge exclusion material (14) on an upper surface and near an edge of a base substrate (10â â ). A stressor layer (16) is then formed on exposed portions of the upper surface of the base substrate (10â â ) and atop the edge exclusion material (14). A portion (10â ) of the base substrate that is located beneath the stressor layer and which is not covered by the edge exclusion material is then spalled and separated from the bulk of the substrate. The material is removed from the substrate by stresses caused by the stressor layer. An adhesive layer (15) can be formed between the substrate and stressor layer. This method improves the reusability of the substrate.
