Surface Texturing with Hemispherical Cavities to Improve Efficiency in Silicon Solar Cells

Improvement of solar-cell efficiency at a minimum possible cost addition is constantly sought, and this is often achieved at incremental percentage steps. Among a number of alternatives, antireflective coatings and surface texturing are the most prominent. This paper presents an alternative texturin...
