A transparent energy harvesting device includes a transparent substrate and one or more patterned materials with feature sizes less than 10 micron, 5 micron, or even less than 2.5 micron, where such materials are comprised of piezoelectric, photovoltaic or thermoelectric materials.

Functional element units and a connection line electrically connecting the functional element units are formed on one principal surface of a piezoelectric motherboard. A resin support layer enclosing the functional element units is formed on the one principal surface of the motherboard. An elastic wave device with the functional units is obtained by dividing a multilayer body including the motherboard, the functional element units, and the support layer into a plurality of sections along a dicing line. The connection line includes a line main body positioned on the dicing line, and a connection unit in which the line main body and the functional element units are electrically connected. Prior to dividing the multilayer body, a retaining member made of resin which straddles the line main body in the width direction of the line main body is formed separate from the support layer on the motherboard.

A method of manufacture and resulting structure for a single crystal electronic device with an enhanced strain interface region. The method of manufacture can include forming a nucleation layer overlying a substrate and forming a first and second single crystal layer overlying the nucleation layer. This first and second layers can be doped by introducing one or more impurity species to form a strained single crystal layers. The first and second strained layers can be aligned along the same crystallographic direction to form a strained single crystal bi-layer having an enhanced strain interface region. Using this enhanced single crystal bi-layer to form active or passive devices results in improved physical characteristics, such as enhanced photon velocity or improved density charges.
