Texturization result of the aqueous (KOH + NaOH + Na 2 SiO 3) solution was found to be the best in all of the other etching solutions in terms of surface morphology, structure of pyramids and reflectance of the substrates.
Wet etching can be used to remove residual saw damage, to texture, to polish, to clean material and/or to reveal defects in the wafers. There are three major wet etching types , see Fig. 3:

Silicon Samples . Reflectance (%) . The significantly reduced optical reflectance of silicon substrates can be attributed to the uniformity, surface morphology and periodic pyramidal structure. These results prove potential of KOH + NaOH + Na 2 SiO 3 etching solution for texturization of silicon substrates.
Dry etching is predominantly anisotropic. Reactive ion etching is used to edge isolate. During wet etching processes, the solid is immersed in a chemical solution (which can be either acidic or alkaline) and material is removed by dissolution.
