SUPERSTRATE COMPRISING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE LAYER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18147496 titled 'SUPERSTRATE COMPRISING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE LAYER
The abstract describes a superstrate with a core body, an electrically conductive layer, and a capping layer, each with specific properties to enhance electrical conductivity and UV transparency.
- The core body has a first and second surface, with the second surface being opposite to the first surface.
- An electrically conductive layer directly overlays the first surface of the core body.
- The conductive layer is metal-free and has a high electrical conductivity of at least 10S/m and UV transparency at 365 nm of at least 80%.
- A capping layer directly overlays the conductive layer, consisting of a fluoropolymer with UV transparency at 365 nm of at least 80%.
- The capping layer contributes to increasing the electrical conductivity of the underlying conductive layer.

Original Abstract Submitted
A superstrate can comprise a core body having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposite to each other; an electrically conductive layer directly overlying the first surface of the core body; and a capping layer directly overlying the conductive layer, wherein the core body can have an electrical conductivity of not greater than 10S/m; the conductive layer is metal-free and comprises an electrical conductivity of at least 10S/m and a UV transparency at 365 nm of at least 80%; and the capping layer includes a fluoropolymer and has a UV transparency at 365 nm of at least 80%. The capping layer can contribute to an increase of the electrical conductivity of the underlying electrically conductive layer.
