Book excerpt: Crystals. The newly developed coating methods have proven to be able to coat different substrates with a monolayer of silica particles and achieve less than 1% light reflection. These newly developed quarter wavelength based antireflection coatings are extremely cheap, easy and quick to fabricate, and can coat multiple substrates at the same time. Furthermore, due to the high quality of the ordered monolayer of silica particles, it is possible to use these particles as a mask for a chlorine reactive ion etching process to produce broadband moth-eye antireflection coatings on both single crystalline and multicrystalline silicon wafers.
