Low Reflection and Low Surface Recombination Rate Nano-Needle Texture Formed by Two-Step Etching for Solar Cells

Low Reflection and Low Surface Recombination Rate Nano-Needle Texture Formed by Two-Step Etching for Solar Cells

In this study, needle-like and pyramidal hybrid black silicon structures were prepared by performing metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) on alkaline-etched silicon wafers. Effects of the MACE time on properties of the black silicon wafers were investigated. The experimental results showed that a...
