本研究提供一個簡單且高效能的溼蝕刻製程技術，於 (100) 單晶矽製作金字塔結構(pyramid textures)。傳統上，利用氫氧化鉀(KOH)於矽晶片上產生非等向性蝕刻，以製作金字塔抗反射結構。由於，反應進行時會於矽晶片表面釋放出氫氣，所以通常會於溶液中加入異丙醇(Isopropyl Alcohol, IPA)來降低氣泡所帶來的影響。在本研究中，利用適當開口尺寸的金屬網目，放於矽晶片表面，如同遮蔽物般將離開矽晶片表面的氣泡捕捉於網目之間，這使得非等向性蝕刻反應進行時所產生的氣泡轉變為氣態遮罩。利用這個方法，我們成功製作出3µm ~ 8µm的金字塔結構，而400nm ~ 1000nm不同波長的反射率量測平均值則小於18%。

A simple and high efficient wet etching technique for fabricating pyramid textures on (100) Si wafer is proposed. Conventionally, pyramid textures were formed on Si wafers to reduce reflections using KOH anisotropic etching. Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) is often added to the solution to abate the bubbling effect caused by hydrogen released form the Si surfaces during reaction. In this study, a metal net with proper opening dimension was used as a shelter to trap the hydrogen from leaving the surfaces of Si, and therefore turns the hydrogen gas into a gas-type etching mask during the anisotropic etching. In this way, pyramid textures with dimensions range from 3µm to 8µm were successfully fabricated. The measured average reflectivity of the texture for incident optical wave length from 400nm to 1000nm is less than 18%.
