In this paper, a simple, low-cost and efficient method was adopted to fabricate large-area Si nanowire ( SiNW ) arrays by inserting the p-type (100) silicon wafer into aqueous HF + AgNO3 solution for a certain time at room temperature. Surface of the silicon wafer with high aspect ratio SiNW shows the characteristics of low-reflection as low as 5% in the 450–800 nm wavelength range, especially less than 1% after etching for 60 min. The surface also exhibits super-hydrophobicity with water contact angle up to 150°. We investigated the relationship between the etching duration and aspect ratio of the SiNW systematically and demonstrated that the aspect ratio of the SiNW can be controlled. The antireflection surface shows a potential implication in increasing the conversation efficiency for solar cells, and the self-cleaning properties will further enhance the resistance to environment conditions for a long-life work.
