Patent ID: 8338698

Claim:
A thin film photovoltaic device, comprising: a glass substrate; a transparent conductive oxide layer on the glass substrate; an n-type thin film layer on the transparent conductive layer; a p-type thin film layer on the n-type layer, wherein the n-type thin film layer and the p-type thin film layer form a p-n junction; an anisotropic conductive layer on the p-type thin film layer, wherein the anisotropic conductive layer comprises a polymeric binder and a plurality of conductive particles; and, a metal contact layer on the anisotropic conductive layer, wherein a first isolation scribe extends through the p-type thin film layer to the glass substrate to form isolated cells in the device, wherein the first isolation scribe forms part of the anisotropic conductive layer and is filled with the polymeric binder and the conductive particles.
