Cold Lift-Off Test For Strength Of Film Stack Subjected To Thermal Loading

View page
US Patent:
8251576, Aug 28, 2012
Filed:
May 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/455398
Inventors:
Kedar Hardikar - San Jose CA, US
Todd Krajewski - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Mia Sole - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 31/0203
H02K 6/00
G01N 25/32
G01N 25/58
G01N 3/18
US Classification:
374 5, 374 57, 374121, 320101, 3246711, 136290, 136206
Abstract:
Multilayer articles such as thin-film solar cells can be effectively tested under thermal load in a mini-module that includes a chamber or enclosure in which one or more laminated multilayer articles are housed. The inner dimensions of the chamber, at least along the axis that is perpendicular to the plane defined by the laminated solar cells, are configured to remain substantially constant during testing. Cooling the laminated solar cells in the mini-module device causes the encapsulant material to shrink and thereby induces accelerated failures in the laminated solar cells and associated structures. A technique of detecting the presence of defects or failures is near infrared radiation thermography wherein NIR images of the laminated solar cells are taken during the cooling process. The color patterns manifested from the cooled laminated solar cells can reveal the location, nature and extent of the defect or failure.

US Patent:
20080294709, Nov 27, 2008
Filed:
May 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/805491
Inventors:
Rahul P. Sathe - Hillsboro OR, US
Kedar Y. Hardikar - San Jose CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/14
US Classification:
708405
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving vertex data corresponding to a surface of an image, performing a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) on the vertex data to obtain a frequency response, zero padding the frequency response to obtain zero padded frequency response data, and performing an inverse DFT (IDFT) on the zero padded frequency response data to obtain modified vertex data including the vertex data and additional vertex data corresponding to the surface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Edge Profiling For Process Chamber Shields

View page
US Patent:
20090283037, Nov 19, 2009
Filed:
May 19, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/123207
Inventors:
Kedar Hardikar - San Jose CA, US
Yajie Liu - San Jose CA, US
Viraj Pandit - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
NOVELLUS SYSTEMS, INC. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
B05C 11/11
C23C 16/00
US Classification:
118504, 118719
Abstract:
Process chamber shields having specially profiled edges exhibit increased lifetime in PVD and CVD deposition chambers. Edge profiling reduces flaking and delamination of materials deposited onto the shields, thereby prolonging shield life, and, consequently, reducing costs associated with deposition. In one embodiment, a shield having an edge portion terminating in a rounded tip, where the tip has high curvature and a small thickness, is provided. In another aspect, a shield having a concave portion connecting with an edge portion, where an upper (inner) surface of the edge portion forms a tangent plane to the upper (inner) concave surface of the concave surface, is provided. In yet another aspect, a shield with a tapered edge portion is provided. Shields, having profiled edges in accordance with these aspects and in accordance with combinations of these aspects, can better support deposited films, particularly films containing compressively stressed materials, such as metal nitrides.

Cte Modulated Encapsulants For Solar Modules

US Patent:
20110036389, Feb 17, 2011
Filed:
Aug 11, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/539054
Inventors:
Kedar Hardikar - San Jose CA, US
Todd Krajewski - Mountain View CA, US
Kent Whitfield - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
MIASOLE - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 31/048
C03C 27/12
US Classification:
136251, 156 99
Abstract:
A photovoltaic module having a light transmissive front layer, a back layer, and a plurality of interconnected photovoltaic cells disposed between the light transmissive front layer and the back layer has a CTE-modified composite encapsulant is interposed between the plurality of solar cells and the light transmissive front layer. The composite encapsulant includes a bulk encapsulant transmissive to visible and near visible wavelengths of the solar spectrum and having a base coefficient of thermal (CTE) expansion, and an encapsulant CTE modifier in the bulk encapsulant. The encapsulant CTE modifier is substantially evenly distributed through the composite encapsulant thickness and interacts with the bulk encapsulant to reduce the effective CTE of the composite encapsulant below that of the bulk encapsulant.
