NOVELTY - A photovoltaic material is fabricated by forming a textured surface region associated with the patterned cleave region occupying a plane parallel to an entirety of the surface region provided from a portion of the thickness of material that remains attached to the support substrate; and using the thickness of material attached to the support substrate for a photovoltaic application.    USE - Method of fabricating a photovoltaic material (claimed) for solar panels.    ADVANTAGE - The method fabricates photovoltaic materials having improved light trapping capabilities overlying a substrate member thus making solar cell less costly, and easy to handle and manufacture; is an easy to use process that relies upon conventional technology like silicon materials, compatible with conventional process technology without modifications to conventional equipment and processes; can form multiple layers of photovoltaic regions from a single conventional single crystal silicon; and forms a textured surface that allows for a longer light path.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A photovoltaic material is fabricated by:    (A) providing a semiconductor substrate including a surface region;    (B) forming a blocking layer including opened regions overlying the surface region;    (C) forming a patterned cleave region using a co-implant process including hydrogen by subjecting at least the hydrogen to the opened regions to define a thickness of material to be detached where the thickness is in between the surface region and the patterned cleave region;    (D) removing the blocking layer;    (E) joining the surface region of the semiconductor substrate via a glue layer to a support surface region of a support substrate;    (F) delaminating the thickness of material from a remaining portion of the semiconductor substrate while the thickness of material remains attached to the support substrate;    (G) forming a textured surface region associated with the patterned cleave region occupying a plane parallel to an entirety of the surface region provided from a portion of the thickness of material; and    (H) using the thickness of material attached to the support substrate for a photovoltaic application.    An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a photovoltaic device.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing is a schematic view of a method of fabricating a photovoltaic material.
