ABSTRACT:
Low angle V-grooves are provided in the target surfaces of optoelectronic or photovoltaic devices such as solar cells and photodetectors. The low angle V-grooves increase the efficiency of the devices by promoting total internal reflection of light reflected from the target surface at the interface of the coverglass and the external environment.
