1. A method of texturing a surface of a substrate, comprising:
- providing a substrate;
distributing separate particles of an overlayer material in a substantially random pattern over at least a part of a surface of the substrate;
subjecting the distributed separate particles to a predetermined environment, which reduces the size of the particles; and
using the substantially random pattern of separate particles as a mask for a subsequent processing of the substrate.

Abstract
A method of texturing a surface of a substrate, includes providing a substrate, and distributing separate particles of an overlayer material in a substantially random pattern over at least a part of a surface of the substrate. The substantially random pattern of separate particles is used as a mask for a subsequent processing of the substrate.

10. A method of texturing a surface of a substrate, comprising:
-
providing a substrate;
applying a layer of photosensitive material over at least a part of a surface of the substrate;
illuminating the layer of photosensitive material in accordance with a substantially random pattern of predetermined separate features, wherein illuminating the layer of photosensitive material comprises forming an optical mask containing the substantially random pattern of predetermined separate features and illuminating the layer of photosensitive material through the optical mask;
developing the layer of photosensitive material; and
using the developed layer as a mask for subsequent processing of the substrate, wherein forming the optical mask comprises;
providing an optical substrate;
distributing particles of an overlayer material in the substantially random pattern over at least a part of a surface of the optical substrate; and
reducing the size of said particles. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A method of texturing a surface of a substrate, comprising:
-
applying an overlayer material to at least a part of a surface of a substrate to form a first masking layer having a pattern of substantially randomly distributed predetermined features, wherein the predetermined features include islands of overlayer material; and
using the first masking layer as a mask for subsequent processing of said substrate. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

21. A method of texturing a surface of a substrate, comprising:
-
providing a substrate;
distributing particles of an overlayer material in a substantially random pattern over at least a part of a surface of the substrate to form a layer, the layer comprising particles which touch one another, thereby forming groups of particles;
subjecting the layer to a predetermined environment such that the particles of the groups of particles are separate and no longer touch one another; and
using the substantially random pattern of separate particles as a mask for a subsequent processing of the substrate.
