摘要
We report the results of junction capacitance measurements on thin tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films to deduce their defect densities. We find defect densities in the range 3 - 7 x 10(17) cm(-3) in the undoped ta-C films, and roughly an order of magnitude larger in the nitrogen doped (n-type) films. In some cases fairly uniform defect profiles were obtained covering a thickness of a couple of hundreds angstroems. We also observed a thermal activation process of carriers from defect states at the ta-C/c-Si interface with an activation energy in the range of 0.4eV to 0.5eV.
