1. Introduction The Measurements and Characterization Division provides test, measurement, and analysis support and research for the National Photovoltaics program. It supports all PV material technologies and involves essential collaborations with internal research groups, external research partners in university and industry laboratories, and PV manufacturers. Each year, this project assists clients with the test and analysis of thousands of materials and device samples, helping them to understand and direct work on their research and commercial product development. These activities address one or more of the three areas crucial to meeting the EERE goal of reducing the levelized energy cost for PV to $0.06/kWh by 2020. The three areas are 1) improving device and module performance, 2) reducing manufacturing costs, and 3) improving device/module reliability. This is accomplished by selecting projects that address key issues for a broad spectrum of technologies, including c-Si, a- Si, thin Si, CIS, CdTe, III-Vs, and future- generation materials. For each technology, we allocate resources to: 1) provide routine and specialized measurement and characterization support for research and industry partners; 2) lead and contribute to collaborative research that addresses critical issues in these PV technologies; 3) develop and implement novel measurement techniques that enhance our ability to understand and advance fundamental PV R&D; and, 4) groups from industry, universities, and national laboratories. FY 2004 priority milestones in each task are listed below. 2.1 Analytical Microscopy Task • Complete study of the growth morphology, defect structure, and compositional uniformity of dilute nitride alloys. • Investigate the microstructure and electrical properties of the c-Si/a-Si interface in Si HIT cells. A summary of progress on these milestones is outlined in section 3.1. 2.2 Cell and Module Performance Task • Obtain ISO 17025 Accreditation for secondary cell calibration under ASTM and IEC standards. • Reach the 90% completion point for the International Module Intercomparison study; Initiate outline of technical report due FY 2005. A summary of progress on these milestones is outlined in section 3.2. 2.3 Electro-Optical Characterization Task • Complete detailed DLTS studies of the defect content of GaAsN materials to identify the impurities or defects that degrade PV device performance. • Organize the 14th Workshop on Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell Materials and Processes. • Complete design and construction of a RCPCD apparatus with auto-tuning as a diagnostic for large-area wafers produced in a manufacturing environment. • Complete development of a high-speed, non- contact. wafer-thickness measurement and mapping system and apply this method to Si wafers used by the PV industry. A summary of progress on these milestones is outlined in section 3.3. 2.4 Surface Analysis Task • Validate surface analysis test platform for process integration. • Complete a study of the CdTe back contact chemistry aimed at achieving better process control, reproducibility, and reliability. A summary of progress on these milestones is outlined in section 3.4. develop diagnostic manufacturing R&D. 2. Technical Approach tools that advance The project is composed of five core competency research tasks and a management/coordination task. The five research tasks are Analytical Microscopy, Cell and Module Characterization, Electro-optical Characterization, Surface Analysis, and Process Integration. The major non- support research activities pursued in FY 2004 are outlined below by task. Although a significant portion of our work involves working with industry to solve research and manufacturing problems in a timely manner, these activities are not reported in this document because of their proprietary nature. However, during the past year, we have collaborated with well over 70 researchPDF Image | FY 2004 ANNUAL REPORT DOE Solar
