If the best indicator of the future is the past, there may be limited changes in photovoltaic manufacturing over the coming 20 years apart from higher production volumes, lower costs and shifts to thinner silicon wafers and higher eciency cell processing sequences. If the above premise is rejected,

## Abstract In the quest for lowering the manufacturing cost of silicon solar cells, imec has been working successfully on two crystalline Si βthinβfilmβ cell concepts. In a first concept, a 20βΒ΅mβthin Si solar cell is epitaxially grown on top of a porous Siβbased Braggβtype reflector which is elec
## Abstract In this work, we used HNO~3~/HF Vapour Etching (VE) of silicon (Si) wafers for the formation of different porous structures. Depending on the volume ratio of the HNO~3~/HF acid mixture, we can obtain Porous Silicon (PS) layers or a (NH~4~)~2~SiF~6~ like powder phase. These two kind of p
