Abstract
A LCLV device exhibiting improved performance capabilities fabricated using an amorphous silicon photoconductor layer, a cadmium telluride blocking layer, a titanium dioxide mirror and a sepcial bonding layer which enables attachment of the cadmium telluride blocking layer to the amorphous silicon. The bonding layer includes silicon dioxide sputtered in successive argon and argon/oxygen atmospheres followed by cadmium telluride sputtered in successive argon/oxygen and argon atmospheres. The bonding layer may also be used in other applications to bond a cadmium telluride layer to single crystal silicon or silicon dioxide layers.
