Fabrication of a Silicon Nanowire Solar Cell on a Silicon-on-Insulator Substrate

This study proposes metal-assisted chemical etching (MAE) as a facile method to fabricate silicon nanowire (SiNW) array structures, with high optical confinement for thin crystalline silicon solar cells. Conventional SiNW arrays are generally fabricated on Si wafer substrates. However, tests on conv...
