Popis: Novel light trapping structure was fabricated on crystalline silicon wafers by KOH etching using Ge dots as an etching mask. In this method, it is found that the density of Ge dots before etching is important for the density of nanostructure after etching. The depth and density of the nanostructure after etching can be controlled by changing the etching time. Reduction of reflectance was successfully confirmed in the samples with nanostructures. Control of size distribution of the nanostructures is the key to further reduction of the reflectance in the wide range of wavelength.
