Amorphous carbon films have been explored and used in a wide variety of applications. With the n-type and p-type amorphous carbon film, it can be used to make p-n junctions for solar cells. This research aims to study the structure of boron- and nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon (a-C:B and a-C:N) films. This research uses the basic material of bio-product from palmyra sugar to form amorphous carbon. Amorphous carbon was synthesized by heating the palmyra sugar at 250°C. The results of XRD showed that the doped films produce an amorphous carbon phase. PES was used to analyze the bonding state of dopants in the sample. B4C, BC3, and BC2O bonds formed in a-C:B, while pyridine and pyrrolic formed in a-C:N.

ABSTRACTAmorphous carbon films were deposited onto (100) Si crystals and onto ultra-pure Al foils by dc-magnetron sputtering with different Ar plasma pressures, from 0.17 to 1.4 Pa. We investigate the voids structure and the voids density in these films by means of small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and mass spectrometry of effused gases. The analysis of the effusion spectra provided clear evidence that films deposited at lower pressures are compact, while the films deposited at higher pressure present a more open structural arrangement, confirming density results obtained by using ion beam techniques. SAXS results reveal that the fraction of open volumes increases with the plasma pressure: a direct correlation between film density and open volume fraction is found. These different film microstructures could be explained by the existence of different bombarding regimes during film growth
