Abstract EN
A type of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) film that was doped by boron (ta-C:B) is focused on in this paper.
The ta-C film is prepared by filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) technique and then doped with boron using the thermal diffusion method.
Then the microcosmic structure and electrical conductivity of the ta-C are characterized by an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) method and four-probe method, respectively.
The results show that the conductivity of ta-C:B is significantly increased; the resistivity decreases from 1.5 × 106 Ω·cm to 350 Ω·cm approximately, while the percentage of sp3 bonds in the film is changed from 87% to 60% approximately.
It means that this type of film preserved the mechanical characteristics of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and improved the electrical characteristics greatly at the same time.
