NOVELTY - Making article combining photovoltaic cell structure and conductive material (222) pattern, comprises: providing photovoltaic cell structure having top light incident surface (210); providing flexible structure of conductive material pattern positioned on polymer based sheet; combining first portion of flexible structure and cell structure so that portion of pattern contacts top light incident surface and pattern is distributed over preponderance of top light incident surface; and removing portion of the sheet while pattern remains distributed over preponderance of top light incident surface.    USE - The method is useful for manufacturing an article combining photovoltaic cell structure and a conductive material pattern for collecting current from a light incident surface of a photovoltaic cell (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method provides: thin film photovoltaic structures devoid of organic materials on metal foil substrates which may be heat treated following deposition in a continuous fashion without deterioration of the metal support or thin film photovoltaic material structures; produces interconnection components separately and distinctly from the solar cells allowing the structures to be uniquely formulated using polymer-based materials, and for a wide range of processing options and physical forms for the various conductive and non-conductive components; provides structure and combinations in a facile and economic fashion; and eliminates polymer flow but results in substantial increases in elasticity and strength.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Manufacturing an article combining photovoltaic cell structure and a conductive material (222) pattern, comprises: providing photovoltaic cell structure having a top light incident surface (210) and comprising semiconductor material; providing a flexible structure comprising a conductive material pattern positioned on a polymer based sheet; combining a first portion of the flexible structure and the cell structure so that a portion of the pattern contacts the top light incident surface and the pattern is distributed over a preponderance of the top light incident surface; and removing a portion of the polymer based sheet while the pattern remains distributed over a preponderance of the top light incident surface. The flexible structure is manufactured absent the cell structure.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a sectional view of combining of an article with a photovoltaic cell.
