This study is to develop and fabricate a high efficiency silicon nanowires (SiNWs) solar cell. The large area growth of SiNWs which have a super high specific surface area, a low reflectance, the tunable energy band gaps (Egs) and a wider absorption range of light will be developed to enhance the efficiency of solar cells by using vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method for the advanced applications of 3(superscript rd) generation solar cells. In the present, the completed work tasks include with (1) the design of SiNWs solar cell, (2) the development of growth technique of SiNWs, (3) the measurement and analysis of the material and optic properties of SiNWs and (4) the test of fabricated SiNWs solar cell. The completed prototype of SiNWs solar cell has an excellent anti-reflection capability and a lowest reflectance of <0.08%. This cell can provide a Voc of 0.42V, a Jsc of 1.85mA/cm^2, a F.F. of 67.98%, and an energy conversion efficiency (η) of 0.53% under the AM1.5 illumination with an incident light intensity of 100 mW/cm^2.
