  • Method for randomly texturing a semiconductor substrate
    Patent number: 9941445
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for texturing a semiconductor substrate (1), comprising steps consisting in forming a plurality of cavities of random shapes, depths and distribution, in an etch mask (2), by means of non-homogeneous reactive-ion etching, forming a first rough random design, and etching the substrate using the etch mask, by means of reactive-ion etching, in such a way as to transfer the first rough random design into the substrate and to produce a second rough random design (200), comprising cavities (20) of random shapes, depths (d2r) and distribution, on the surface of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
