Abstract

A solar cell and a method of texturing a solar cell are disclosed. The method includes coating an ink containing metal particles on a surface of a substrate, drying the ink to attach the metal particles to the surface of the substrate, and differentially etching the surface of the substrate using the metal particles as a catalyst to form an uneven portion.
