Abstract
The contributions of this research project to amorphous silicon solar cells are in the following areas: 1) Improved understanding of the open-circuit voltage; 2) Improved knowledge of the built-in potential; 3) Variations in hole drift-mobilities for differing forms of a-Si:H; 4) Infrared spectroscopy of interfaces in a-Si:H cells; 5) Polymer p-layers; and 6) Hydrogen-based models for defects andmetastability.
