NOVELTY - Article comprises a current collector structure in addition to a photovoltaic cell (10), where e.g.: the photovoltaic cell comprises semiconductor material, and has a top light incident surface; the current collector structure comprises a flexible sheet-like substrate having oppositely facing top and bottom surfaces; and the substrate comprises multiple polymeric layers; a first portion of the substrate is transparent or translucent and comprises a first layer of polymeric material and a second layer of polymeric adhesive; and the polymeric adhesive forms the bottom surface of the portion.    USE - The article is useful in solar cell electrical current collection grids, electrical circuits, electrical traces, circuit boards, antennas, capacitors, induction heaters, connectors, switches, resistors, inductors, batteries, fuel cells, coils, signal lines, power lines, radiation reflectors, coolers, diodes, transistors, piezoelectric elements, photovoltaic cells, emi shields, biosensors and sensors.    ADVANTAGE - Subsequent combination of the structures with photovoltaic cells allows facile and efficient completion of modular arrays. The article has high efficiency, heat treated thin film photovoltaic cells, and can be manufactured in an inexpensive manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Article comprises a current collector structure in addition to a photovoltaic cell (10), where: the photovoltaic cell comprises semiconductor material, and has a top light incident surface; the current collector structure comprises a flexible sheet-like substrate having oppositely facing top and bottom surfaces; the substrate comprises multiple polymeric layers; a first portion of the substrate is transparent or translucent and comprises a first layer of polymeric material and a second layer of polymeric adhesive completely coating the first layer of the portion; the polymeric adhesive forms the bottom surface of the portion; the adhesive exhibits adhesive affinity for the top light incident surface; a pattern of conductive material is attached to the adhesive bottom surface of the substrate portion; the characteristic of the pattern is such that the intended design and integrity of the pattern is maintained only through attachment of the pattern to the substrate; the pattern comprises an arrangement of multiple substantially parallel adjacent conductive line segments; the bottom surface of the substrate and the top cell surface are positioned in facing relationship such that the pattern is in direct physical contact with the light incident surface; the pattern extends over the preponderance of the light incident surface of the photovoltaic cell; the combination article is flexible, regions of the bottom surface of the substrate portion not covered with the pattern are in direct physical contact and adhesively bonded to the top cell surface such that the substrate accomplishes maintaining the pattern arrangement and secures electrical and physical contact of the pattern to the light incident surface, and thus the arrangement and the contact would be disrupted absent the substrate.
