Biomimetic Antireflective Si Nanopillar Arrays

Abstract

Biomimetic antireflective Si nanopillar arrays are created using self-assembled polymer-sphere monolayers as etching masks (see image). These tapered Si nanopillar arrays can greatly suppress the reflectivity of Si. This method provides a facile approach for producing antireflection (AR) surfaces on large areas with low cost and high throughput.
