    Surface Morphology, Structural, Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Properties of Diamond Like Carbon-Copper Nanostructures

    Kara, Salih; Aslan, Naim; Kurt, Mustafa Şükrü

    In this work, we produced Cu doped diomond like carbon films using the magnetron sputtering technique and assessed their structural electrical and optoelectronic characteristics. In the atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements, it was observed that the surface of the Cu-DLC nanocomposite films was in a granular form and the presence of cluster-like formations. D and G bands, which are the characteristic peaks of the DLC structure, were observed in the Raman spectrum, while Cu and C peaks were observed in the energy dispersive (EDX) spectrum. Photocurrent, photocapacitance, photosensitivity and photoresponse values increased depending on the increasing light intensity. However, the Cu-DLC/n-Si structure displayed low photovoltaic properties. The capacitance and conductance values were considerably affected by the increase in AC signal frequency. The series resistance and the density of the interface states exhibited low frequency dependent behavior which were obtained using the electrical characteristics of the nanocomposite films.

    Diamond-like carbon films have found various areas of application due to their particularly durable characteristics. To enhance the electrical and optoelectronic characteristics of the material, diamond-like carbon was co-deposited with Ge on p-type Si wafer using the DC magnetron sputtering technique, from which diamond-like carbon-germanium nanocomposites were obtained. The structural properties of the nanocomposites were assessed using electron microscopy techniques. The chemical structure of the nanocomposite films was confirmed using energy dispersive spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The electrical properties of the nanocomposite films were investigated via various electrical parameters as determined through current-voltage, capacitance–voltage, and conductance–voltage graphs. Photoresponsive and photosensitivity properties were also assessed using a solar simulator at various illumination intensities. It was concluded that nanocomposite thin films were responsive to light, where photosensitivity and photoresponsivity increased with increasing illumination intensity. The electrical characteristics of the nanocomposite films were associated with the frequency of the AC voltage applied.
