Fabrication of nanocone arrays by two step metal assisted chemical etching method

抄録

This work develops a novel method for preparing a moth eye structure, which has a sub-wavelength periodical Si nanocone structure on Si (100) substrate, using two-step metal assisted chemical etching (MACE). The 1st and 2nd MACE were respectively performed with the intention to form perpendicular Si nanowire arrays on a Si substrate and sharpening the Si nanowire arrays. We found the inhomogeneous absorption and aggregation of Au particles used as a catalyst for 2nd MACE was important to obtain the nanocone shape. The obtained Si nanocone arrays showed superior anti-reflecting properties especially in wavelength below 600 nm compared to the Si nanowire arrays. A possible mechanism involved in the formation of the nanocone structure by the 2-step MACE is discussed in this paper.
