The invention discloses a method for texturing a monocrystalline silicon wafer. The method comprises the steps of texturing by corrosion, passivation and deionization. By the technical scheme of cancelling rough polishing, and changing a formula, reaction conditions and treatment flow, the method overcomes the problems and the disadvantages of the prior art that the texturing technological processis difficult to be controlled, the thickness reduction of the monocrystalline silicon wafer is greater, the silicon wafer is easily cracked during the treatment process, the textures formed on the silicon wafer is uneven, and bulky dimension of a cone structure leads to high reflectivity of the silicon wafer, lower short circuit current (Isc) and lower photoelectric conversion rate. The method provided for texturing the monocrystalline silicon wafer realizes that corrosive liquid is in a steady state which is easy to be controlled, the thickness reduction of the silicon wafer is reduced, theformed textures are even and the dimension of the cone structure is compact; the method reaches the purposes of reducing the reflectivity of the silicon wafer, increasing the short circuit current (Isc), and improving the photoelectric conversion rate, meanwhile, the method improves the quality and the qualification rate of the product on the whole, reduces the consumption of chemical reagents andlowers the cost.
