Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating an optoelectronic device, comprising: providing a semiconductor unit; forming a plurality of metal fingers on a surface of said semiconductor unit for electrical conduction; forming a plurality of pad areas available for connection to a bus bar, wherein each of said metal fingers is connected to a corresponding pad area for forming an electrical contact, and wherein each metal finger and corresponding pad area of the plurality of metal fingers and the plurality of pad areas comprises a section of a plurality of sections; forming a dielectric coating disposed above said plurality of metal fingers and said surface; and electrically opening all sections except for bad sections and maintaining electrical isolation of said bad sections, wherein said bad sections each comprise a defective metal finger and a compromised corresponding pad area, and wherein said maintaining electrical isolation of said bad section comprises leaving intact a corresponding portion of said dielectric coating.
