The invention concerns optically absorptive photonic devices and in particular photovoltaic and photoconductive devices. It is particularly concerned with devices formed from multiple semiconducting layers, e.g., organic semiconducting polymers. Such a device has two central semiconductive layers which have been laminated together so as to form a mixed layer between the first and second semiconductive layers, while retaining at least some of the first and second semiconductive layers on either side of the mixed layer.

1. A method of forming a photovoltaic or photoconducting device comprising the laminating together of a first component having a first electrode and a first semiconductive layer predominantly comprising a first semiconductive material, and a second component having a second electrode and a second semiconductive layer predominantly comprising a second semiconductive material, wherein the laminating step involves the controlled joining of said first semiconductive layer and said second semiconductive layer to form a mixed layer comprising proportionally less of said first semiconductive material than said first semiconductive layer and proportionally less of said second semiconductive material than said second semiconductive layer while retaining said first and second semiconductive layers with a reduced thickness.
