Abstract

A method of fabricating submicron textures on glass and transparent conductors includes depositing a plurality of silica or silica-coated polystyrene nanospheres onto a substrate, etching the silica coated polystyrene nanospheres and the substrate to form a plurality of nanocone projections on a first side of the substrate, and depositing a transparent conducting oxide onto the substrate on top of the nanocone projections.
