TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: The positioning process brings portions of surfaces of the pattern into facing relationship with the top light incident cell surface, where the pattern surface portions are formed by a metal based material in the absent of a polymeric binder material. The laminating step comprises melting of a polymeric material. The combination article having the pattern on the light incident surface produced by the positioning process is accumulated on a roll. The positioning process comprises a step of roll lamination, and applying an adhesive to an exposed surface of the pattern portions prior to positioning the pattern portions over the top light incident cell surface. The portions of the pattern are defined by printed material, which is further overlayed by the metal based material. Preferred Components: The flexible structure comprises a layer of release material and polymer based material. The photovoltaic cell structure further comprises a self supporting metal based foil. The top light incident cell surface comprises a transparent conductive material. The transparent conductive material comprises a metal oxide. The cell and flexible structures are provided to the positioning process as a continuous form. The pattern is joined to additional conductive material which extends outside a terminal edge of the cell structure after the positioning process. The pattern and the additional conductive material comprise a common monolithic material which reaches throughout the extent of the pattern. The metal based material comprises nickel, and comprises a low melting point metal based material which can melt during a laminating step. The low melting point metal based material comprises indium. The pattern comprises a continuous monolithic metal based material extending throughout substantially the continuous length of the continuous form of flexible structure. The portions of the pattern comprise an electrically conductive polymer. The adhesive is conductive adhesive and exhibits adhesive affinity for the top light incident surface.
