Optical and passivating properties of sol-gel derived silica and titania coatings on textured monocrystalline silicon

Optical Properties of Spin-Coated TiO2Antireflection Films on Textured Single-Crystalline Silicon Substrates

“…This is because the gel shrinks and cracks mainly at the groove of the pyramid, when the spin-coated TiO 2 gel is heat-burned in the furnace. Other researchers [12] have also pointed out the same phenomenon.…”

“…Arabi et al prepared the sol-gel ARC for polycrystalline silicon [11]. Petersson et al compared the optical properties of ARCs, which consist of TiO 2 and SiO 2 [12]. Yang et al investigated ARCs, which consist of a SiO 2 -TiO 2 mixture for multicrystalline textured silicon cells [13].…”
