PREFACE

Thin-film photovoltaics have demonstrated efficiencies approaching 20% and are leadingcandidates to provide low cost renewable energy due to potential advantages in manufacturingand materials costs. Symposium F, "Thin-Film Compound Semiconductor Photovoltaics," heldMarch 29-April 1 at the 2005 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco, California, focused onchalcogenide semiconductors such as Cu(InGa)(SeS)2, CdTe, and CdS, on transparent conductingoxides, and on photovoltaic devices using these materials. This volume contains papers presentedat that symposium.

The symposium included three and a half days of oral sessions and two evening postersessions, and this volume is organized according to the program sessions. The symposium includedthirteen invited papers which reviewed critical areas of research on these materials and devices andpresent some particularly exciting new results. The application of recent advances in materialscharacterization to compound semiconductor thin films was a theme throughout the symposium.Particular highlights included results obtained with photoelectron spectroscopy, high resolutiontransmission electron microscopy, atomic probe techniques, and spectroscopic ellipsometry onthese materials which provide new insights into surface, grain boundary and bulk properties.Several papers also presented results on new materials including different alloys of CuInSe2 andCdTe.

The symposium included two discussion sessions. The first was "Back contacts: Are they thekey to improved Cu(InGa)Se2 and CdTe solar cells?" There was general agreement that thecontacts are controlled by interfacial layers but the effects on film growth and devices are stillpoorly understood. The second discussion was "Critical issues for thin film polycrystalline PV:What do we have and where are we going?" A lively session was dominated by efforts to definethe relative value of fundamental and more applied research for helping a nascent PV industry.

A highlight of the symposium for many of its students and new researchers was the YoungScientist Tutorial on Characterization Techniques for Thin-Film Solar Cells with instructorsD. Abou-Ras, X. Liu, J. Heath, and T. Rissom. This tutorial focused on fundamentals ofcharacterization methods being utilized in the research and development of these materials anddevices. A unique aspect of this tutorial was that it was presented by students and youngresearchers for students and young researchers to encourage an open atmosphere for discussionsand scientific exchange.

The organizers would like to thank all of the attendees who made this symposium exciting andthought-provoking and also the authors whose contributions to this proceedings, we believe, willmake it a valuable and lasting contribution to the field of thin-film photovoltaics. We would alsolike to thank the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Air Force Research Laboratory,DuPont Central Research and Development, and Shell Solar Industries for their generous supportof the symposium.
