NOVELTY - The method comprises adding a template to a substrate (12), depositing a conductive material in the template to form an array of conductive nanocables on the substrate, removing a part of the template, and depositing a photovoltaic material layer on exposed portions of the nanocables and then depositing a dielectric overcoat of ethyl vinyl acetate. The template is created by forming a membrane on a patterned surface and removing the membrane from the patterned surface, where the membrane is coupled to the substrate for the template and comprises dielectric and/or polymer.    USE - The method is useful for creating nanostructures such as solar panels.    ADVANTAGE - The method is capable of easily and economically creating large-scale nanostructures with uniform size and/or spacing, high durability, high aspect ratios and improved efficiency at sufficient temperature.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method comprises adding a template to a substrate (12), depositing a conductive material in the template to form an array of conductive nanocables on the substrate, removing a part of the template, and depositing a photovoltaic material layer on exposed portions of the nanocables and then depositing a dielectric overcoat of ethyl vinyl acetate. The template is created by forming a membrane on a patterned surface and removing the membrane from the patterned surface, where the membrane is coupled to the substrate for the template and comprises dielectric and/or polymer. A front contact is created in communication with an uppermost of the photovoltaic material layer. A transparent conductive oxide layer is deposited over the nanocables, where a material of the layer has sufficient temperature at deposition to photovoltaically activate the nanocables with the photovoltaic material layer. The transparent conductive oxide layer acts as a front contact for the nanocables with photovoltaic material. The deposition of layers of photovoltaic material includes performing multiple chemical bath depositions with one of a thermal anneal and a densification performed between the chemical bath depositions. The axes of the nanocables are tilted from a direction normal to a plane of the substrate. The template partially remains during the deposition of the photovoltaic material layer. A portion of the remaining template is an insulating layer (16). The substrate is electrically conductive and segmented to a portion of the conductive substrate for forming electrically isolated segments. In a first deposition, electricity is conducted only to a first group of the conductive nanocables for depositing a layer of photovoltaic material. In a second deposition, electricity is conducted only to a second group of the conductive nanocables for depositing a layer of photovoltaic material. The first and second groups include some different conductive nanocables. The composition, thickness and/or height of structures formed by the first deposition are different than the composition, thickness and/or height of structures formed in the second deposition. A conductive layer is formed over the photovoltaic material layer, and the conductive layer is segmented for forming electrically isolated segments. The array of conductive nanocables is coupled with photovoltaic material to a semi-transparent photovoltaic device, where the array is positioned relative to the photovoltaic device such that light passing through the photovoltaic device strikes the array. Some of the conductive nanocables with photovoltaic material have a portion with a wider diameter than in another portion. The portion having the wider diameter is positioned towards or away from the substrate. The template is formed by embossing, and added to the substrate in a continuous process. The conductive nanocables are activated using a pulsating laser. The substrate is treated for enhancing electrical contact between the substrate and the conductive nanocables. The voids are present in the array in which the conductive layer is formed. The template is formed in part from a photoresist that is patterned without a hard mask. One layer of the photovoltaic material is electroplated and formed by chemical vapor deposition and etching. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a nanostructure.
