摘要
Texturing by reactive ion etching (RIE) is demonstrated as an attractive technical solution for lowering of reflectance of multicrystalline silicon solar cells. A suitable sequence of processes is developed to combine the advantage of reactive ion etching with "natural lithography" based on colloidal masks. The RIE single-wafer texturisation is driven to an industrial applicable batch process by plasma etching with a gain in efficiency of 0.3% absolute. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
