Abstract

Systems and methods are described for compositions, apparatus and/or electronic devices. A composition, includes a composition layer defining a first surface and a second surface, the composition layer including a collection layer that is located closer to the first surface than to the second surface. An apparatus, includes a semiconductor absorber layer defining a first surface and a second surface; and an electrode layer coupled to the first surface of the semiconductor absorber layer, wherein the semiconductor absorber layer includes a collection layer that is located closer to the first surface than to the second surface. A electronic device includes a semiconductor structure for absorbing, the semiconductor structure for absorbing defining a first surface and a second surface; and an electrode structure for conducting coupled to the second surface of the semiconductor structure, where the semiconductor structure includes a collection layer that is located closer to the first surface than to the second surface.
