C-Si substrates by pretreatment are kept flat into HF and AgNO3Mixed solution(HF:AgNO3Mol ratio be 240: 1)Middle 90s, Ag nano particle can be deposited evenly on c-Si upper surfaces.Then, the c-Si substrates for being coated with Ag particles are put into HF And H2O2Mixed solution(HF:H2O2Mol ratio be 30:1)Middle progress 20s corrosion treatment, under Ag catalytic action, C-Si upper surface, which can corrode, homogeneous initial nanostructured.C-Si substrates with initial nanostructured are successively put into dense HNO3With each 3 minutes in acetone soln, remaining and the back side the nail polish of Ag is removed respectively.
1.3 oxidation processes
Initial nanostructured obtained in 2.2 is put into tubular heater under air atmosphere, sintered at 1000 DEG C 30 minutes, in initial nanostructured surface formation oxide layer.The thickness of the oxide layer corrodes from the upper end edge of initial nanostructured Depth direction is tapered into.
1.4 oxide layer
Substrate after oxidation is put into HF and H2O mixed solution(HF:H2O volume ratio 1:10)Middle corrosion 150 seconds, oxygen Change layer to be completely removed, so that reconstruct nanostructured matte is made.
2. the nanostructured in reconstruct nanostructured matte preparation method corresponding to each step compares
It can be drawn from Fig. 5-1 and Fig. 5-4, the making herbs into wool corrosion depth of initial nanostructured is about 400nm, be presented irregular Nano-void shape structure.From Fig. 5-2 and Fig. 5-5 as can be seen that the top nano-void knot of the initial nanostructured after oxidation Structure is oxidized layer and filled substantially.From Fig. 5-3 and Fig. 5-6 as can be seen that the reconstruct nanostructured matte after oxide layer is removed is same Sample shows irregular alveolate texture, and concave is equally presented in its construction unit.Compared with initial nanostructured, reconstruct Nanostructured matte afterwards has smaller specific surface area.
3. reconstruct the average reflectance of nanostructured matte
From fig. 6, it can be seen that in embodiment 2, in 400-1100nm spectral regions, at initial nanostructured 6-1, oxidation The average reflectance of the random cellular nano structure 6-3 after nanostructured 6-2, reconstruct after reason is respectively 6.8%, 6.4% and 2.9%.Compared with initial nanostructured, the cellular nano structure matte after reconstruct shows full wave anti-reflective effect, its 2% is below in the reflectivity of the main photo-absorption regions of the c-Si of 500nm-1000nm scopes.
