Their surface morphology and optical properties were examined for their possible use in solar cells. The surface condition and chemical composition were characterized using a scanning electron microscope and the thickness was measured using a spectroscopic reflectometer. The refractive index and the reflection characteristics were determined. First, the optical properties of the Al 2O 3 thin film and its influence on recombination in the semiconductor were examined. In this way, it can fulfil a double role in a solar cell. Since reflection reduction was only achieved in a narrow range, it was decided to use the Al 2O 3/TiO 2 system. Thanks to this solution, the light reflection was reduced in a wide range (even below 0.2%).}, type={Article}, title={The Al2O3/TiO2 double antireflection coating deposited by ALD method}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/124434/PDF/OPELRE_2022_30_3_M_Szindler.pdf}, doi={10.24425/opelre.2022.141952}, keywords={antireflection coating, atomic layer deposition method, solar cells}, }
