CRYSTALLINE THIN-FILM PHOTOVOLTAIC STRUCTURES AND METHODS FOR FORMING THE SAME

摘要

Methods for forming semiconductor devices include providing a textured template, forming a buffer layer over the textured template, forming a substrate layer over the buffer layer, removing the textured template, thereby exposing a surface of the buffer layer, removing oxide from the exposed surface of the buffer layer, and forming a semiconductor layer over the exposed surface of the buffer layer.
