Black Silicon Photovoltaics

Advanced Optical Materials, 2014
This article presents an overview of the fabrication methods of black silicon, their resulting morphologies, and a quantitative comparison of their optoelectronic properties. To perform this quantitative comparison, different groups working on black silicon solar cells have cooperated for this study.

Black luminescent silicon

physica status solidi c, 2011
AbstractBlack silicon is a fascinating multipurpose modification of bulk silicon which can be fabricated in a selforganized structure formation process during dry etching of bare silicon wafer leading to the formation of a high density of silicon needles. The smallest dimension of the tips approaches values between 1 and 2 nm. The silicon nanostructure

Black silicon photovoltaics

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
The challenge of future solar cell technologies is the combination of highly efficient cell concepts and low cost fabrication processes. A promising concept for high efficiencies is the usage of nanostructured silicon, so-called black silicon. Due to its unique surface geometry the optical path of the incoming light through the silicon substrate is ...

Black silicon integrated aperture

Journal of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS, and MOEMS, 2017
This paper describes the incorporation of nanotextured black silicon as an optical absorbing material into silicon-based micro-optoelectromechanical systems devices to reduce stray light and increase optical contrast during imaging. Black silicon is created through a maskless dry etch process and characterized for two different etch conditions, a cold ...

Black thin film silicon

Journal of Applied Physics, 2011
“Black etching” has been proposed previously as a method for the nanoscale texturing of silicon surfaces, which results in an almost complete suppression of reflectivity in the spectral range of absorption relevant for photovoltaics. The method modifies the topmost 150 to 300 nm of the material and thus also is applicable for thin films of silicon. The

Black Silicon Solar Cells

2010
This project aims to optimize the solar cell by applying a new kind of material, black silicon, in order to optimize the absorption of the solar radiation. By changing the surface of the conventional solar cell absorption-material, silicon, on nanoscale, the absorption can possibly and hopefully be improved.

Wide-band “black silicon” based on porous silicon

Applied Physics Letters, 2006
Solar cells and optical detection devices often incorporate antireflective surfaces to reduce undesired reflection and enhance optical absorption. This letter reports a “black silicon” structure of antireflective porous silicon fabricated by using electrochemical etching.

Novel black silicon PIN photodiodes

SPIE Proceedings, 2006
The many advantages of silicon such as low cost, abundancy and a level of maturity that allows for very large scale integration, means that silicon is the most commonly used semiconductor in microelectronics and optoelectronic devices. Silicon, however, has one disadvantage, this being that it is unable to absorb light greater than 1100 nm.
