description

This paper discusses and demonstrates the usefulness and prospects of using textured layers of indium phosphide as a material for space solar cells. Such designs improve the performance of the photovoltaic converter by increasing the effective area and surface roughness. Thus, it minimizes the background reflectivity of the surface. Textured layers on the InP surface were obtained by electrochemical etching using a bromous acid solution.
