Abstract

Presence of surface structures has been found to reduce surface reflectance. Structures like Nanoholes, Nanopyramids, AR coating, etc. have been found useful for the purpose. In this work, the reflectance of c-Si with nanowires on its surface is simulated with the aim of reducing its surface reflectance. It is observed that the presence of Si nanowires on the surface of c-Si reduced the surface reflectance to 23% as compared to a reflectance of 38% in the case of bare c-Si. The simulations are based on Fast Fourier Transform and implemented through an online simulation tool called Stanford Stratified Structure Solver (S4). Results obtained from simulation are thereafter utilized in development of a mathematical model.
