Research activities for the first six months of this work on amorphous-silicon-based, thin-film photovoltaic devices are described. In semiconductor materials research, most of the initial work was conducted to improve various analytical capabilities. A thermally stimulated current technique was introduced to characterize a-Si:H solar cells. In nonsemiconductor materials research, activities concentrated on the stabilities of various interfaces in the solar cell. In the area of submodule research, detailed studies were performed on the relationship between the deposition parameters and solar cell characteristics and on the laser scribing technique used in patterning large modules. 7 refs., 17 figs., 2 tabs.
