High density micro-pyramids with silicon nanowire array for photovoltaic applications.
We use a metal assisted chemical etch process to fabricate silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWAs) onto a dense periodic array of pyramids that are formed using an alkaline etch masked with an oxide layer. The hybrid micro-nano structure acts as an anti-reflective coating with experimental reflectivity below 1% over the visible and near-infrared spectral regions. This represents an improvement of up t...

متن کاملOptical absorption enhancement in silicon nanowire arrays with a large lattice constant for photovoltaic applications.
In this paper, we use the transfer matrix method to calculate the optical absorptance of vertically-aligned silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays. For fixed filling ratio, significant optical absorption enhancement occurs when the lattice constant is increased from 100 nm to 600 nm. The enhancement arises from an increase in field concentration within the nanowire as well as excitation of guided reson...
متن کاملSilicon nanowire array photelectrochemical cells.
The development of efficient but inexpensive solar cells is an important current challenge. Semiconductor nanowires provide new opportunities for addressing the cost and efficiency issues of conventional photovoltaic (PV) and photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells. Recent studies of semiconductor nanowire growth1-3 show that it is relatively easy to make arrays of vertically oriented single crystals,...
