Abstract

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. B<subscript>4</subscript>C, BC<subscript>3</subscript>, and BC<subscript>2</subscript>O bonds formed in a-C:B, while pyridine and pyrrolic formed in a-C:N.
