Abstract:
Systems and methods taught herein provide thin film semiconductor devices such as thin film photovoltaic devices having via holes that enable electrical connection with a bottom surface of a topside contact of the thin film semiconductor device via the back side of the device (e.g., during mounting of the device). In some embodiments, the via holes are electrically insulated.

Claim (Index 6):
The thin film photovoltaic device of  claim 4 , wherein the electrically insulating layer has a first outer diameter, length, or width at the via hole as measured at the interface between the electrically insulating layer and the side surface of the bottom backside contact and a second outer diameter, length, or width at the via hole as measured at the interface of the electrically insulating layer and the side surface of the semiconductor region, wherein the first outer diameter, length, or width is larger than the second outer diameter, length, or width.
