Abstract:
1. A combinatorial method, comprising: depositing a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) by physical vapor deposition, wherein depositing the TCO comprises a site-isolated deposition to form site-isolated regions on a single substrate through the physical vapor deposition, each site isolated region having a substantially uniform composition; annealing the TCO; forming a molecular masking layer on the TCO the molecular mask allowing for differential texturing, wherein forming the molecular masking layer comprises applying an etching formulation to the surface of the TCO; and etching the TCO to provide a textured surface that scatters light incident upon the textured surface, wherein at least one of the depositing, the annealing or the etching is performed combinatorially.
