Wavelength-Conversion Material-Mediated Semiconductor Bonding for Photovoltaic Applications

Wavelength-conversion material-mediated semiconductor wafer bonding has been demonstrated, by utilizing an adhesive and viscous organic matrix embedding fluorescent particles. The wavelength-converting heterointerface can practically lead the spectral light incidence suitable for each photovoltaic material. This bonding and interfacial scheme is expected to enhance solar cell efficiency and structure flexibility by photon management and current matching among subcells. Moreover, our novel scheme provides the bonding formation and the interfacial function generation simultaneously, and therefore potentially realizes low-cost and high-throughput production processes.
