Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure generally relates to a photovoltaic device, and method of forming the same that has an improved manufacturing device yield and desirable electrical properties based one or more patterning techniques performed during the photovoltaic device manufacturing process. The patterning techniques include forming one or more scribed regions in a formed or partially formed photovoltaic device to inhibit the migration of cracks or defects to undesirable regions of the formed photovoltaic device and/or reduce or relieve an amount of stress found in the layers used to form the photovoltaic device.
