| 20090162972 | METALLIZATION CONTACT STRUCTURES AND METHODS FOR FORMING MULTIPLE-LAYER ELECTRODE STRUCTURES FOR SILICON SOLAR CELLS - Metallization contact structures and methods for forming a multiple-layer electrode structure on a solar cell include depositing a conductive contact layer on a semiconductor substrate and depositing a metal bearing ink onto a portion of the conductive contact layer, wherein the exposed portions of the conductive contact layer are adjacent to the metal bearing ink. The conductive contact layer is patterned by removing the exposed portions of the conductive contact layer from the semiconductor substrate. The metal bearing ink is aligned with one or more openings in a dielectric layer of the semiconductor substrate and with unexposed portions of the conductive contact layer. The unexposed portions of the conductive contact layer are interposed between the metal bearing ink and the dielectric layer of the semiconductor substrate such that the conductive contact layer pattern is aligned with metal bearing ink. The semiconductor substrate is thermally processed to form a current carrying metal gridline by sintering the metal bearing ink. | 06-25-2009 |

| 20100187695 | OUT-OF-PLANE SPRING STRUCTURES ON A SUBSTRATE - A structure has at least one structure component formed of a first material residing on a substrate, such that the structure is out of a plane of the substrate. A first coating of a second material then coats the structure. A second coating of a non-oxidizing material coats the structure at a thickness less than a thickness of the second material. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20110271857 | PRINTING SYSTEM EMPLOYING DEFORMABLE POLYMER PRINTING PLATES - A printing plate has a substrate, an array of cells on the substrate, wherein each cell corresponds to an element of a print image, a deformable polymer material localized into the cells such that each cell is at least partially formed from the deformable polymer material, a reservoir corresponding to each cell to collect the deformable polymer material as needed when the deformable polymer material is one of either melted or softened, and a heater to cause the deformable polymer material to either melt or soften. A method of forming a printing plate provides an array of cells, first heats the array of cells such that the deformable polymer material does one of either melts or softens, actuates the cells in the array to assume a deformed state, cools the array of cells to solidify the cells in the deformed state, second heats the cells such that the deformable polymer material in selected ones of the cells does one of either soften or melt and return to a less deformed state to form a printing pattern, and cools the surface to solidify the deformable polymer material in the printing pattern. A method of forming a printing plate provides an array of cells, heats the array of cells such that the deformable polymer material softens, actuates selected ones of the cells to deform surfaces of the selected ones to form a printing pattern, and cools the array of cells to solidify the printing pattern into a printing plate. | 11-10-2011 |
