Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor structure including a bonding layer connecting a first semiconductor wafer layer to a second semiconductor wafer layer, the bonding layer including an electrically conductive carbonaceous component and a binder component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for assembling a solar cell structure using a bottom substrate and a top substrate, said method comprising: growing at least one bottom subcell on said bottom substrate, said bottom subcell being configured to absorb light in a spectral range; growing at least one top subcell on said top substrate; forming a bonding layer on a front surface of the at least one bottom subcell by forming a carbon nanotube film and infiltrating the carbon nanotube…
