It is tempting to inflate along one of the many flat directions that arise insupersymmetric theories. The required flatness of the potential to obtainsufficient inflation and to not overproduce density fluctuations occursnaturally. However, the density perturbations (in the case of a single modulifield) that arise from inflaton quantum fluctuations are too small forstructure formation. Here we propose that topological defects (such as cosmicstrings), which arise during a phase transition near the end of moduliinflation can provide an alternative source of structure. The strings producedwill be `fat', yet have the usual evolution by the time of nucleosynthesis.Possible models are discussed.Comment: 12 pages, plain TeX; Comments and references added, version to appear  in Phys.
