Abstract

Diamond-like carbon films were deposited on p-type silicon substrates by ECR-plasma decomposition of methane. The films have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. The current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics were measured allowing interface trapped charges to be estimated. The density of states near to the Fermi level was calculated from the measurements to be of the order of $10^{19}cm\hspace{2mm}^{3}eV^{1}.$
