ABSTRACTReported here is a study on the effect of different metal back contacts onthe electrical and structural properties of the tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C). The films were grown using a pulsed cathodic arc system. Ta-C films were deposited simultaneously on silicon substrate, precoated with the following metals, namely aluminium (Al), gold (Au), chromium(Cr), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), tungsten (W) and titanium(Ti). The electrical measurements and Raman response show that the back contact does influence the properties of ta-C films. These results are analysed with respect to our earlier report regarding the influence of back contacts on field emission from similar ta-C films.

ABSTRACTAs previously demonstrated, non-diamond carbon (NDC) films deposited at low temperatures 200-300 °C on silicon tips reduced the threshold of field emission. In this paper we will present the results of the study of field emission from flat NDC films prepared by VHF CVD. Emission measurements were performed in a diode configuration at approximately 10−10 Torr. NDC films were deposited on ceramic and on c-Si substrates sputter coated with layers of Ti, Cu, Ni and Pt. The back contact material influences the emission characteristics but not as a direct correlation to work function. A model of field emission from metal-NDC film structures will be discussed.
