TUTORIAL

Young Scientist Tutorial on Characterization Techniques for Thin-Film Solar Cells
Monday March 28, 2005
1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Room 2005 (Moscone West)

This tutorial is intended for young researchers (including students and post-graduates within three years of degree completion) that are new in the field of thin-film solar cells and want to learn the fundamentals of characterization methods that are being utilized in the research and development of these materials and devices. The tutorial will begin with an introduction to thin-film solar cells based on copper indium diselenide, cadmium telluride, and silicon thin-films and critical materials and device issues. This will be followed by more detailed presentations focusing on four specific characterization techniques being used to address these issues:

(1) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
(2) X-ray Fine Structure Studies at Synchrotron Sources
(3) Admittance Measurements
(4) Hall-Effect Measurements

The presentations on characterization techniques will be given by young researchers who are active in the characterization of thin-film solar cells. Because the presentations will focus on the characterization techniques rather than the specific materials, the tutorial, should be of broad interest to participants of other symposia.

A unique aspect of this tutorial is that it will primarily be presented by students and young researchers for students and young researchers. It is believed that a more open atmosphere for discussion of ideas will be facilitated by the absence of senior scientists in the session. Scientific exchange and discussion between students will be encouraged by the lecture-style presentations and by having sufficient time allotted for discussions.
