Summary:

This report describes work to reach two goals--an individual goal and a wide-gap team goal. The individual goal was to investigate the ``top junction`` for defects using the spectroscopic ellipsometry technique. This will include an evaluation if specific defects are associated with C, B, Sn (diffusing from the transparent conducting oxide [TCO]) or Na (diffusing from the glass). It may include an assessment of the function of a graded a-SiC:H buffer layer. As defects are identified and characterized, their influence on the transport properties will be assessed. This should lead to better parameters used as input to models for the electronic materials and device performance. The goal of the wide-gap team was to demonstrate, characterize, and understand improved doped and undoped ``wide gap`` materials for use in achieving 15%-efficient stabilized photovoltaic modules (``wide gap`` materials are defined by this team to have a band gap ≥ 1.9 eV). The major conclusions of the research are discussed in the report.
