Abstract

This work presents theoretical and experimental results of antireflective coatings (ARCs) obtained for applications in silicon solar cells. ARCs were derived from sol-gel process and dip-coated using silica (SiO₂) and titania (TiO₂). Theoretical results were obtained using 2×2 transfer matrix calculation method. Technological process of SiO₂ and TiO₂ thin film fabrication as well as measurement techniques are described in this paper. Strong correlation between theoretical and experimental data is demonstrated. It is shown, that weighted average reflection from a substrate can be reduced ten times with the use of SiO₂/TiO₂/Si double layer ARCs, when compared to a bare silica substrate.
