Abstract

See full text

It is an object to provide a method for processing a silicon substrate that can reduce surface reflectance as much as possible. The method includes a first step of forming a thin film including a metal having higher electronegativity than silicon and having a plurality of openings on a silicon substrate, a second step of soaking the silicon substrate subjected to the first step in a hydrofluoric acid solution containing oxidizer, and a third step of soaking the silicon substrate subjected to the second step in an ammonia aqueous solution containing oxidizer. By performing the steps in the above order, a minute uneven structure is formed on a surface of the silicon substrate to reduce the reflectance.
