“…It is defined as a composition of silicon skeleton permeated by network of pores, which is formed when the crystalline Si wafers are etched electrochemically in electrolytic solution such as hydrofluoric (HF) acid [17]. The strong visible photoluminescence (PL) [18] and electroluminescence [19] from PS at room temperature have opened new possibilities for Sibased optoelectronic applications [20]. Fabrication and characterization of PS photodetectors by electrochemical etching were reported [21].…”

SnO 2 nanostructures have been prepared on quartz and porous silicon (PS) substrates using rapid photothermal oxidation at 600°C and different oxidation times. The analysis and characterizations were researched. The photovoltage properties of Au/n-SnO 2 /p-PSi/c-Si solar cell are investigated under irradiation of Nd:YAG laser pulses. The PS is synthesized on single crystalline p-type Si using electrochemical etching in aqueous hydrofluoric acid at current density 25 mA/cm 2 for 30 min etching time. The photovoltage properties are found to be depended on laser flounces.

“…ITO films suffer from high manufacturing cost, low mechanical flexibility, and shortage of indium supplies [1][2][3]. Therefore, finding alternatives to replace ITO is an interesting and ongoing research objective for solar cell industry or any other technology involving with conductive layers, such as organic electronics.…”

“…In this case, porous silicon structure improves solar cell eciency mostly in the infrared range of the solar spectrum. Research on further increase in solar cell eciency by devising new porous silicon structures is performed [13]. In general, most of the work observed positively impacts solar cell eciency.…”

This work presents porous silicon technology, adapted to improve the characteristics of monocrystalline silicon solar cell. This is achieved by taking advantage of properties provided by porous silicon technology in production of diverse structures in the material. We produce a porous silicon derivative, which is mostly hidden in the emitter of solar cell. Research of the initial and modied solar cells was made by measuring currentvoltage characteristics under illumination of a 5000 K xenon lamp. Spectrally resolved studies of currentvoltage characteristics were carried out using radiation of halogen lamps and diraction grating monochromator. Studies revealed that the manufacturing of buried porous silicon structure improves solar cell performance by increasing the ll factor of the modied solar cell currentvoltage characteristics, maximum output power and eciency, when compared to unmodied ones. Spectral studies revealed that the above-mentioned improvement diers for various sections of light spectrum. Largest relative enhancement of solar cell current was observed at the wavelengths of ∆λ = 450550 nm. We consider the cumulative result of several eects resulting in solar cell eciency enhancement. Most of them were the inuence of porosity on eective optical path length and better anti-reecting properties of multiple porous structures.
