Black nonreflecting silicon surfaces for solar cells

TL;DR: In this article, a wet chemical process for nanoscale texturing of Si surfaces is presented, which results in an almost complete suppression of the reflectivity in a broad spectral range, leading to black Si surfaces.

A simplified process for isotropic texturing of mc-Si

TL;DR: In this paper, an isotropic etch consisting of only HF and HNO/sub 3/ was proposed, which leads to comparable improvements in reflection and I-V characteristics but is easier to handle and less critical during the etch process.
