Summary

Properties of the microcrystalline silicon surfaces etched by the hydrofluoric acid were analysed by different fractal methods. The surface microstructure of prepared samples was experimentally studied by the electron microscope. Obtained images were represented by the random height function and used in the determination of fractal characteristics useful in surface texture analysis (fractal dimension and succolarity). Obtained results were used in study of the influence of etching steps on the properties of formed surface microstructure.
