Abstract
The anti-reflection properties of the inverted pyramidal structures with the tips for crystalline silicon solar cells are studied numerically and experimentally, and the comparisons with inverted pyramidal structures without the tips are given. Because the light has more multiple reflection between different surfaces of the inverted pyramidal structures with the tips and more light energies are trapped and absorbed by the solar cell materials, the structures with the tips can have smaller reflection. This study can be useful for the designs of textured structures for the solar cells or other anti-reflection applications.
