Anti-Reflection Etching Of Silicon Surfaces Catalyzed With Ionic Metal Solutions

US Patent:
2009023, Sep 24, 2009
Filed:
Mar 21, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/053445
Inventors:
VERNON YOST - LAKEWOOD CO, US
HOWARD BRANZ - BOULDER CO, US
Assignee:
MIDWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE - KANSAS CITY MO
International Classification:
C03C 25/68
US Classification:
216 99
Abstract:
A method () for etching a silicon surface (). The method () includes positioning () a substrate () with a silicon surface () into a vessel (). The vessel () is filled () with a volume of an etching solution () so as to cover the silicon surface (). The etching solution () includes a catalytic solution () and an oxidant-etchant solution (), e.g., an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic solution () may be a solution that provides metal-containing molecules or ionic species of catalytic metals. The silicon surface () is etched () by agitating the etching solution () in the vessel () such as with ultrasonic agitation, and the etching may include heating () the etching solution () and directing light () onto the silicon surface (). During the etching, the catalytic solution (), such as a dilute solution of chorauric acid, in the presence of the oxidant-etchant solution () may release metal particles such as gold or silver nanoparticles that speed or drive the etching process.

Wet-Chemical Systems And Methods For Producing Black Silicon Substrates

US Patent:
2013023, Sep 12, 2013
Filed:
Nov 11, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/825541
Inventors:
Vernon Yost - Lakewood CO, US
Hao-Chih Yuan - Golden CO, US
Matthew Page - Golden CO, US
Assignee:
ALLIANCE FOR SUSTANABLE ENERGY, LLC - Golden CO
International Classification:
H01L 21/306
US Classification:
2525011, 438753
Abstract:
A wet-chemical method of producing a black silicon substrate. The method comprising soaking single crystalline silicon wafers in a predetermined volume of a diluted inorganic compound solution. The substrate is combined with an etchant solution that forms a uniform noble metal nanoparticle induced Black Etch of the silicon wafer, resulting in a nanoparticle that is kinetically stabilized. The method comprising combining with an etchant solution having equal volumes acetonitrile/acetic acid:hydrofluoric acid:hydrogen peroxide.
