Abstract :
Dedicated photolithographic and reactive ion etching processes applied to the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) hydrogenated amorphous silicon layers of solar cells have been developed in the objective of the low-cost manufacturing of efficient, depth-limited subwavelength gratings transforming a linearly polarized beam into a radially and azimuthally polarized beam in the 1.0-1.1-μm wavelength range.
