20120111927 | ALUMINUM BOND PADS WITH ENHANCED WIRE BOND STABILITY - A method of forming an electronic device bond pad includes providing an electronic device substrate having an Al bond pad located thereover. An aluminum layer is formed over the Al bond pad. A metal layer is formed located between the Al bond pad and the aluminum layer. The metal layer comprises one or more of Ni, Pd and Pt and has a total concentration of Ni, Pd and/or Pt of at least about 50 wt. %. A gold bond wire may be attached to the aluminum layer. | 05-10-2012 |
20120204941 | ALLOTROPIC CHANGES IN SI AND USE IN FABRICATING MATERIALS FOR SOLAR CELLS - A method provides forming a photovoltaic (PV) cell. The PV cell may be, e.g. a heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) cell. The method includes forming a crystalline semiconductor layer over a substrate. The crystalline semiconductor layer is heated above a melting temperature of the semiconductor. A portion of the crystalline semiconductor layer is thereby converted to a quenched amorphous semiconductor layer. | 08-16-2012 |
20120223432 | MOISTURE BARRIER FOR A WIRE BOND - An electronic device comprising a bond pad on a substrate and a wire bonded to the bond pad.
