  • Title: Biomimetic subwavelength antireflective gratings on GaAs.
    Author: Sun CH, Ho BJ, Jiang B, Jiang P.
    Journal: Opt Lett; 2008 Oct 01; 33(19):2224-6. PubMed ID: 18830359.
    Abstract:
    We have developed a simple and scalable bottom-up approach for fabricating moth-eye antireflective coatings on GaAs substrates. Monolayer, non-close-packed silica colloidal crystals are created on crystalline GaAs wafers by a spin-coating-based single-layer reduction technique. These colloidal monolayers can be used as etching masks during a BCl(3) dry-etch process to generate subwavelength-structured antireflective gratings directly on GaAs substrates. The gratings exhibit excellent broadband antireflective properties, and the specular reflection matches with the theoretical prediction using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis model. These bioinspired antireflection coatings have important technological applications ranging from efficient solar cells to IR detectors.
