The optical performance of random and periodic textured mono crystalline silicon surfaces for photovoltaic applications

Surface textures that result in high optical yields are crucial for high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) devices. In this work three different texturing approaches are presented that result in smooth concave structures devoid of sharp features. Such features can sustain the crack-free growth of device...
