A photovoltaic structure having a semiconductor substrate, and metal particles bonded to the semiconductor substrate. The photovoltaic structure is sufficiently thin to be translucent or semitransparent. The metal particles are produced when a layer of metal is deposited onto the semiconductor substrate and heated. The photovoltaic structure is capable of causing generation of an electrical current upon exposure to electromagnetic radiation within one or more of the infrared spectrum, the visible light spectrum, or the ultraviolet spectrum. |
